sample_load is a highly configurable load-logger. It has some features I desperately needed when I was involved in the development of the "www.geldshop.nl"-website.
sample_load takes a sample of the load-average of your system with a configurable interval. You can also set the minimum load for which samples should be logged. The maximum load (again; configurable) indicates at what load sample_load should terminate itself.
The the layout of the timestamp can be anything what the "strftime" C-function lets you define.
From version 2.0, sample_load can also log the amount of memory in use (physical/swap). sample_load has a configurable buffer-size, this is to prevent artificially higher load because of frequent open/write/close filesystemcalls.
Version 3.0 has a new option enabling the logging of the process that used the most cpu-time. sample_load can now also automatically shoot a process using too much cpu-time or memory (all configurable).
