Graphically displaying performance statistic

Charles Li_2 — Tue, 28 Oct 2003 09:27:13 GMT

I have collected performance statistic for my server. They are in time vs response. I would like to plot them in a line graph. What is the easiest way to accomplish on HP-UX?

Thanks, Charles

Charles,

I see you developing your "suite" of performance monitoring tools. For simpler implementations I'd say go for any of the public domain plotutils (Gnuplot for example)

FOr more advanced applications I suggest you use RRDTOOL, it will take some effort of learning but once you master it, you can make tools that even the commercial vendors will drool upon... Use RRDTOOL to graph any output from UNIX's various built-in tools and utilities (ie. sar, vmstat, uptime, etc..)

I used data from sar, vmstat, swapinfo, iostat, etc.. Coupled with some Perl scripting of course.

As Oracle say about DMS - http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/http/ohs-faq-v1022-part3.htm#DMS%20-%20Dynamic%20Monitoring%20System

Its included with Oracle http server (Apache) and stores its metrics in the shared memory.I guess the metrics can also be seen through some web-browser-http-way?
