how to capture bigtop output to file

as u know ,in linux ,we can capture top command output to file,like this url: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/10/how-to-capture-unix-top-command-output-to-a-file-in-readable-format/

 

but bigtop is no parameters like "-n" and only have "once" ,Unfortunately，with “once” ，can't get "bits in prior" data every 4 second

 

my purpose is get virtual server traffic like this (bold):

 

VIRTUAL name |---In----Out---Conn-|---In----Out---Conn-|-Nodes Up--

 

/Common/something 6.215T 140.9T 17.54M 46.61M 1.125G 114 1

 

help,thanks!

    See the following Devcentral post:

    throughput-per-virtual-server

    It shows the following command which you could then output to a text file:

     while [ 1==1 ]; do bigtop -bytes -nosort -n -vips 10 -nodes 0 -once |grep "10\.254\.254\.10"; sleep 2; done

    Does this help?
