Script for monitoring the Utilization of CPU and Memory.

Narendra Uttekar — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:12:30 GMT

Hi,
I want to write a script to monitor the utilization of CPU and Physical Memory every 15 min for 24 hours so that later i can plot the graph for CPU and Memory utilization.And using internal HP-UX command i.e. sar,top and vmstat.

Thanks,
Narendra

So you want to write a script. What is preventing you from doing just that?

Read the relevant man pages: use the commands "man sar", "man top" and "man vmstat" to find the options you may need.

Find the commands that would produce the information you need if you had to do it manually. Then write the commands into a text file, one per line. You now have the basics of your script right there!

Read "man sh-posix" if you need to learn about shell script syntax, shell built-in commands or general features of the standard Posix shell.

Hi Narendra,
this is monitoring script that uses glance.

#!/usr/bin/sh
GlnCmd=/opt/perf/bin/glance
WrkDir=~gpsactv/CHECK/scripts
GlnSyn=$WrkDir/gln_syntax_file
GlnOpt="-j60 -adviser_only -nosort -iterations 2 -bootup -syntax $GlnSyn"
ResLog=$(date +%Y%m)-res-cop.log
# Create glance syntax file
cat<$GlnSyn
print "-- ",
gbl_statdate,
" ",
gbl_stattime,
" ",
gbl_cpu_total_util|3|0,
" ",
gbl_disk_util_peak|3|0,
" ",
gbl_mem_util|3|0,
" ",
gbl_swap_space_util|3|0
EOD
#echo -- MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS CPU DSK MEM SWA
$GlnCmd $GlnOpt 2>/dev/null |tail +2 >>$WrkDir/../dat/$ResLog
#eof

HTH,

If you want shiny graphs you can use perfview. Khm, I wanted to say 'Performance Manager', as it is called by this summer. Here is a trial version:

You don't need to write a script, with Performance Manager you can reach back to historical data:

"
HP Performance Manager Software is a web-based analysis and visualization tool that analyzes performance trends of applications, systems, and services. This software helps you manage your application performance by enabling you to proactively detect and isolate server bottlenecks. It provides a consistent set of cross-platform metrics for heterogeneous physical and virtual environments. And it enables you to examine server utilization in real time and historical performance trends. "
