Do you have Glance/Plus ? ( including measureware )

swlist -l product|grep -i glance

If not you will need to either get it (or a trial from https://h10078.www1.hp.com/cda/hpdc/display/main/search_results.jsp?zn=bto&cp=54_4012_100__) or configure sar to gather stats.

man sa1

Glance is a very good tol if you can keep an eye on the display.
If you don't have glance, or prefer background monitoring, look at "sar" (system activity reporting).
Take care directory /var/adm/sa exists, or create it if it doesn't exist, and then run for instance "/usr/lbin/sa/sa1 600 144".
This will log a general system activity report 144 times , every 600 seconds (10 minutes), so in total 24 hours.

You will find a file in directory /var/adm/sa that you can query with a command like "sar -f saxx [-option]"

Look at the sar manpage for the available options. You can query about everything.

Glance Plus is the best option.

If you really have Glance Plus then it includes MeasureWare. Measureware is the historical collector.

swlist -l product|grep -i measure

perfstat (to check the to see if the collectors are running)

review the utility and extract commands as mentioned previously.

Then you need to use the OpenView Performance Manager.

This is a separate product for purchase.

Java based graphing utililty that can run on HPUX or Windows ( I am thinking around $10,000 list price, could be wrong ).

A trial version can be obtained from the HPOV website.
