server performance

[Prashanth Waugh]

Dear All,

I have to monitor server performace from weekly basis for that i am using extract utility. So can anyone tell me as to what are the parameteres that can be used for knowing the utilization of the resources (CPU, memory, disk swap...etc) of the system in the reptall file.

Thanks
Atul

Hi,

man extract will give you parameteres and examples.

The tools there may be useful and can be run on a short duration to collect data for any length of time.

GlancePlus is a performance tool with all kinds of neat graphs and charts. It is an additional cost item. It also runs on other versions of Unix such as AIX or Solaris.

I'm an 'old school' type of Unix geek. I use sar and vmstat to examine system performance. They are free and also available on most Unix variants.

to define metric output from extract you need to modify or use your own metric template.

All the metrics are in there, you need to uncomment the ones you need. The template is in /var/opt/perf/reptall.

Copy it to your own file.

For example(remove the *):
Uncomment
* DATE
* TIME
* GBL_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL

Then
extract -r my.template -$type

Each section of the template is for a different mwa logfile.

Read the extract man page for more info.

Hi Atul,

For monitoring the performance of server you can install perfview and glance also. Perfview will give you the performance graphs and charts as well.

Thanks
