Get glance/measureware to CORRECTLY and ACCURATELY monitor CPU utilization! Any other program will produce inaccurate results, which will mislead you to the wrong conclusions!

What i am trying to do is have a cpu graph of our hp box in daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
basis and where i can view it in our intranet server. Can glance / measureware can do this ?

You can run glance in 'adviser_only' mode and have it run in cron (output to a file)

Then....

have a script collate that data into daily,weekly,etc....

Then cut and paste into Excel to graph it.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
MRTG can run with any SNMP enabled device in our case a HP-UX server.
First , start snmp in the HP-UX server.
#/sbin/init.d/SnmpHpunix start
#/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster start
#/sbin/init.d/SnmpMib2 start
Check whether snmp is running.
#ps -ef | grep snmpd

Now using cfgmaker utility in MRTG

cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /home/hp-ux/mrtg' --global --output /home/mrtg/cfg/hpux.cfg public@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Since public is the default snmp community.
Your config file is generated in /home/mrtg/cfg/hpux.cfg
After that run MRTG
/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /home/mrtg/cfg/hpux.cfg
