[ale] Collectl and other peformance tools

[jlightner at water.com (Lightner, Jeff)]

Is anyone using collectl for measuring performance on Linux systems?
Or alternatively does anyone know of better FOSS tools that could be
used on RHEL5?

 

Of course I know about sar, vmstat, top etc... but I'm wondering if
there is a good overall tool that measures all the various things and
might show it to us in real time.  (We used HP's Glance on HP-UX - I
know they have a version for Linux as well but that is $$$ - any tool
similar to Glance would be nice.)

 

One of our DBAs found mention of collectl and on looking at the site
below it looks like it might fit the bill.
