kSar Interrupt list

Here is my new patch for kSar: Interrupt list


It was a missing feature of kSar for Linux. And an option is also added to show it in the stacked way.

Sar would capture first 16 interrupts by default. The interrupts are identified by an number, which is known as IRQ. And you can check the mapping between IRQ and the device in /proc/interrupts on the system.

I don't think normal system admin need to investigate IRQ closely. I would like to add this feature mainly because of functional completeness. And it may be useful if you want to monitor the Interrupt rate or binding, for tuning for better system response time (e.g. for a Real time system). For more information about Interrupt binding, you can see here .

Here is the patch for kSar-4.0.14.
Here is the compiled jar with this feature as an option.
