# Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats(3pm)

Collect linux process statistics.

## NAME

Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats - Collect linux process statistics.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats;
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new;
    $lxs->init;
    sleep 1;
    my $stat = $lxs->get;
```

Or

```
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new(initfile => $file);
    $lxs->init;
    my $stat = $lxs->get;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats gathers process statistics from the virtual */proc* filesystem (procfs).

For more information read the documentation of the front-end module Sys::Statistics::Linux.

## IMPORTANT

I renamed key `"procs_blocked"` to `"blocked"`!

## LOAD AVERAGE STATISTICS

Generated by */proc/stat* and */proc/loadavg*.

```
    new       -  Number of new processes that were produced per second.
    runqueue  -  The number of currently executing kernel scheduling entities (processes, threads).
    count     -  The number of kernel scheduling entities that currently exist on the system (processes, threads).
    blocked   -  Number of processes blocked waiting for I/O to complete (Linux 2.5.45 onwards).
    running   -  Number of processes in runnable state (Linux 2.5.45 onwards).
```

## METHODS

### new()

Call `"new()"` to create a new object.

```
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new;
```

Maybe you want to store/load the initial statistics to/from a file:

```
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new(initfile => '/tmp/procstats.yml');
```

If you set `"initfile"` it's not necessary to call sleep before `"get()"`.

It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.

```
     Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new(
        files => {
            # This is the default
            path    => '/proc',
            loadavg => 'loadavg',
            stat    => 'stat',
        }
    );
```

### init()

Call `"init()"` to initialize the statistics.

```
    $lxs->init;
```

### get()

Call `"get()"` to get the statistics. `"get()"` returns the statistics as a hash reference.

```
    my $stat = $lxs->get;
```

### raw()

Get raw values.
