+Dool is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, netstat, nfsstat
+and ifstat. Dool overcomes some of their limitations and adds some
+extra features, more counters and flexibility. Dool is handy for
+monitoring systems during performance tuning tests, benchmarks or
+troubleshooting. It can be easily extended with Python plugins for
+almost any kind of system monitoring.
+
+Dool is the drop-in replacement for dstat, after dstat development was
+discontinued.
