VMSTAT(8) Linux Administrator’s Manual VMSTAT(8)
NAME
vmstat - Report virtual memory statistics
SYNOPSIS
vmstat [-a] [-n] [delay [ count]]
vmstat [-f] [-s] [-m]
vmstat [-S unit]
vmstat [-d]
vmstat [-p disk partition]
vmstat [-V]
DESCRIPTION
vmstat reports information about processes, memory, paging, block IO,
traps, and cpu activity.
The first report produced gives averages since the last reboot. Addi-
tional reports give information on a sampling period of length delay.
The process and memory reports are instantaneous in either case.
Options
The -a switch displays active/inactive memory, given a 2.5.41 kernel
or better.
The -f switch displays the number of forks since boot. This includes
the fork, vfork, and clone system calls, and is equivalent to the
total number of tasks created. Each process is represented by one or
more tasks, depending on thread usage. This display does not repeat.
The -m displays slabinfo.
The -n switch causes the header to be displayed only once rather than
periodically.
The -s switch displays a table of various event counters and memory
statistics. This display does not repeat.
delay is the delay between updates in seconds. If no delay is speci-
fied, only one report is printed with the average values since boot.
count is the number of updates. If no count is specified and delay is
defined, count defaults to infinity.
The -d reports disk statistics (2.5.70 or above required)
The -p followed by some partition name for detailed statistics (2.5.70
or above required)
The -S followed by k or K or m or M switches outputs between 1000,
1024, 1000000, or 1048576 bytes
The -V switch results in displaying version information.
FIELD DESCRIPTION FOR VM MODE
Procs
r: The number of processes waiting for run time.
b: The number of processes in uninterruptible sleep.
Memory
swpd: the amount of virtual memory used.
free: the amount of idle memory.
buff: the amount of memory used as buffers.
cache: the amount of memory used as cache.
inact: the amount of inactive memory. (-a option)
active: the amount of active memory. (-a option)
Swap
si: Amount of memory swapped in from disk (/s).
so: Amount of memory swapped to disk (/s).
IO
bi: Blocks received from a block device (blocks/s).
bo: Blocks sent to a block device (blocks/s).
System
in: The number of interrupts per second, including the clock.
cs: The number of context switches per second.
CPU
These are percentages of total CPU time.
us: Time spent running non-kernel code. (user time, including nice time)
sy: Time spent running kernel code. (system time)
id: Time spent idle. Prior to Linux 2.5.41, this includes IO-wait time.
wa: Time spent waiting for IO. Prior to Linux 2.5.41, shown as zero.
FIELD DESCRIPTION FOR DISK MODE
Reads
total: Total reads completed successfully
merged: grouped reads (resulting in one I/O)
sectors: Sectors read successfully
ms: milliseconds spent reading
Writes
total: Total writes completed successfully
merged: grouped writes (resulting in one I/O)
sectors: Sectors written successfully
ms: milliseconds spent writing
IO
cur: I/O in progress
s: seconds spent for I/O
FIELD DESCRIPTION FOR DISK PARTITION MODE
reads: Total number of reads issued to this partition
read sectors: Total read sectors for partition
writes : Total number of writes issued to this partition
requested writes: Total number of write requests made for partition
FIELD DESCRIPTION FOR SLAB MODE
cache: Cache name
num: Number of currently active objects
total: Total number of available objects
size: Size of each object
pages: Number of pages with at least one active object
totpages: Total number of allocated pages
pslab: Number of pages per slab
NOTES
vmstat does not require special permissions.
These reports are intended to help identify system bottlenecks. Linux
vmstat does not count itself as a running process.
All linux blocks are currently 1024 bytes. Old kernels may report
blocks as 512 bytes, 2048 bytes, or 4096 bytes.
Since procps 3.1.9, vmstat lets you choose units (k, K, m, M) default
is K (1024 bytes) in the default mode
vmstat uses slabinfo 1.1 FIXME
FILES
/proc/meminfo
/proc/stat

BUGS
Does not tabulate the block io per device or count the number of sys-
tem calls.

简单的说就是: r 和 b 不高于5,如果r 经常大于4,且id 经常少于40,则表示CPU 负荷很重。
us+sy 不超过80%,如果大于80,进程就会在运行队列中花费等待时间,响应时间和吞吐量就会下降。
wa 不超过25, 如果说wa >40表明磁盘io没有也许存在不合理的平衡,或者对磁盘操作比较频繁
