usage stats for kernel parameters

Vijayakrishna — Wed, 24 Apr 2002 14:30:55 GMT

I am trying to find utilities/commands which can give the dynamic resources usage information about defined kernel parameters.

Can any one suggest how can we get these.

Thanks

Try glance and select the "t" option for kernel tables.

man glance

You can look through Glance and Sar, iostat, vmstat who can give you the required resource usage.

Can you pl let us know which resource usage you are looking for?

Hi Vijay

In case you want to know about dynamic nfile , ninode and nproc then do a sar -v 2 10 and it will give you a utilization at that monet of time , glance is an exceelnt tool and if you have graphical display then nothing like gpm .

vmstat 2 10 ( every 2 sec for 10 times ) does give you a dynamic display on virtual memory statics , ofcourse you can be cretive with small shell scripts to get what you want.

Incase you are looking for a specific parameter please do tell us.

I am specifically looking for usage of msgseg, msgtql, msgmap (IPC Related) and shared memory parameters.

Thank you

For IPC related parameters: Glance (already mentioned) and ipcs(1).

Hi,

some tools to use are:
- sar, sadc
- vmstat, iostat
- glance, gpm
- q4, adb

the last two are very *low-level*...

HTH,

hi

try sysdef command, the best choice is glance.
i think there is no single command to know all dynamic kernel parameters.
