SYSPREF variable needs to be set to collect sys data in v2?

[kchung]

server performance is not on by default. You need to change the SYSPERF variable to "1" at the top of the AST_update.pl script for it to start collecting system stats.

Let us know how it goes when you run in production.

Is this still the default behavior for v2?

Nope, this is now a servers table setting, changable in the astguiclient/admin.php servers section.

Manager manual, page 47 doesn't mention this can be done via web interface.

Also, AST_update.pl assumes that cat is at /usr/bin/cat (CentOS 4.3)

If your cat isn't there, you can temporarily fix this by creating an alias:

Code: Select all

ln /real/location/of/cat /usr/bin/cat

in SVN 2-X this has changed so that AST_update.pl will check a few standard places for scripts like cat, free and ps so that you don't have to alter the script.
