First working revision of SIGAR information schema plugin is available

Intro

The first working version (0.4.3) of SIGAR I_S plugin is now available on Launchpad. You are welcome to download and give it a try:
bzr branch lp:~m.ch/mysql-server/sigar-plugin
As this product is still in development stage you probably don't want to install it on you production server. I'd rather suggest to play with it on some non-important MySQL server instance.
So what actually this plugin does. It uses Hyperix SIGAR library to gather and analyze operating system information. As SIGAR library is OS independent we can gather information on different unix platforms as well as on Windows family OS.
What this plugin is not. It's not a way to start or stop OS services, interrupt its work or affect it in any way.

Features

1. You don't need to install or compile SIGAR library yourself as the source files come already with SIGAR files and do all the dirty work for you.
2. At the moment plugin comes as a standalone program (in the future it's going to be merged into the latest MySQL server revision).
3. It's distributed with autotools support so that you can compile and install it easily on almost any unix machine (standalone installation is not supported on Windows so far).
4. The following plugins are available with this revision:
OS_SUMMARY
OS_USERS
OS_MEMORY_RAM_SWAP
OS_CPU
OS_DISK_USAGE
OS_FILESYSTEM
OS_RESOURCE_LIMITS
OS_NETWORK_INTERFACES
OS_NETWORK_INTERFACES_STAT
