Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

kstat, a node.js addon for reading kstats

This is a simple node.js addon that allows one to read kernel statistics via the kstat framework on Solaris. The "kstat" module exports a single class, "Reader" that has the following methods:

Reader(): Takes an optional object specifying the kstats to read. This object may have the following members:

        class    =>  optional string denoting class of kstat(s) to read
        module   =>  optional string denoting module of kstat(s) to read
        name     =>  optional string denoting name of kstat(s) to read
        instance =>  optional integer denoting instance of kstat(s) to read

        Together, these members form a specification of kstats to read.

read(): Returns an array of kstats that match the specification with which the reader instance was constructed and an optional specification passed to this function. Each element of the array is an object that contains the following members:

        class    =>  string denoting class of kstat
        module   =>  string denoting module of kstat
        name     =>  string denoting name of kstat
        instance =>  integer denoting instance of kstat
        snaptime =>  nanoseconds since boot of this snapshot
        data     =>  an object containing the named kstat data itself

For example, here is a simple node.js program that dumps the kstats of class 'mib2':

var kstat = require('kstat'); var sys = require('sys'); var reader = new kstat.Reader({ 'class': 'mib2' } ); sys.puts(sys.inspect(reader.read()));

Here is a the same program that reads only the 'mib2' class kstats from the 'icmp' module:

var kstat = require('kstat'); var sys = require('sys'); var reader = new kstat.Reader({ 'class': 'mib2', module: 'icmp' } ); sys.puts(sys.inspect(reader.read()));

Finally, here is a simple program that prints the number of ICMP datagrams received per second:

var kstat = require('kstat'); var sys = require('sys'); var reader = new kstat.Reader({ 'class': 'mib2', module: 'icmp' } );

var data = []; var gen = 0;

setInterval(function() { data[gen] = reader.read()[0]; gen ^= 1;

    if (!(data[0] && data[1]))
            return;

      sys.puts(data[gen ^ 1].data.inDatagrams - data[gen].data.inDatagrams);

}, 1000);
