Monitor kernel parameter usage in 11.11

Prasanth V Aravind — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 09:55:50 GMT

Hi,

I have about 20 production servers which are in hpux 11.11.

We are facing problem on monitoring the kernel parameter usage of these servers.

We are using kcusage for the server which are in 11.23. But don’t know how I can do it for 11.11 servers.

I had read that, kcweb & kcusage for 11.11 is no more available on hp site.

Any body can help to resolve this issue.

Waiting for your suggestions.

Thanks in advance
Prasanth

1. The measureware agent has a class called TBL which shows you thing like proc table utilization, file table utilization and others.

check out /opt/perf/paperdocs/mwa/C/methp.txt

you can extract the global metrics and then get the ones you want

2. You can write glance advisor scripts that print out metrics (or save to files) certain of the glance metrics.

you would probably have to write your onw RC script that starts out the glance advisor script at boot time.

Hi,

I don't think you can monitor all the parameters in a single command unless you right a script. What I normally do is, glance and then press "t", this will show the important tables usage. Also you can do "sar -v 2 20", this will shows 3 tunable parameter usage.

Hope this halps.
