CPU DISK Memory USAGE on HP-11.00

New User — Fri, 06 Dec 2002 16:56:15 GMT

All:
Is there any tool which will give me the metrics for CPU DISK Memory USAGE on HP-11.00 servers. I am looking for just these 3 parameters. Is it possible to automate this so that I can mail it to myself these metrics?
Please let me know
Thanks

There are plenty of tools that can give you this type of information.

# man sar

Sar comes with HP-UX

Products that you have to purchase, but will also give you this: MeasureWare, Glance

You could also use vmstat to get some of the info.

man vmstat

There is a free ware form www.sarcheck.com which autamtes and formats the system report , may be you can downlaod and use it . This essentially uses the sar output and is easy to setup .

you can also get the report from glance , perf view . i have attached a sar o/p for one of my systems using the tool .

Hello.

You might consider vmstat and/or sar.
However if you use disk arrays like EMC sar stats might mislead you. Better go with array monitoring tools like WorkLoad Analyser (EMC).

vmstat is pretty dicent tool and very reliable.

Hope this helps,

Hi Sachin,

Glance will give you what you want.
#glance is the character I/F command
#gpm is the GUI version.

Product is not free but you do get a free evaluation period right out of the box.
Is contained on the OS CD set for immediate install.

Rgds,
Jeff

Is it possible in GLance?
Thanks,

Hi Sachin,

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

In that case I would think that MeasureWare & PerfView would be the tools of choice. It will hold these metrics & then you could run the reporting tool against the dataset to generate spreadsheets & graphs.

Rgds,
Jeff

Thats exactly the ouput I am looking for
Is on sarcheck.com i see the software is a evaluation copy. How long is the evaluation copy valid?

Thanks

Sachin,

If you read the request page herre: http://www.sarcheck.com/orderform.htm

You will see that you have to request a demo from sarcheck and when you receive the demo package, the software will have an expiration date hardcoded in it. I believe they usually give you 30-60 days but you will have to talk to them yourself.

If you don't mind getting A LOT of data to parse through, use iostat.

The three basic performance tools are iostat, vmstat, and sar. These are true-multiplatform tools.

If you don't mind getting A LOT of data to parse through, use iostat.

sar is a good tool, and it works equally well on non-HP systems. at cpu stats.

But Glance puts all of these in a pretty picture. HP really urges the use of Glance Plus. I've had their help desk people tell me a couple of times that the performance algorhythyms in Glance is customized for HP.

The freebies, therefore, are good. The pricey tool is better.

Sachin,
Instead of investing money on all price products i would recomend working on writing scripts to capture data using cron on some flat file or DB and making your own graph using PHP and GD library. Beleive me its reall good ...
Collect data from sar/uptime/swapinfo(to collect load/users/memory/npoc/nfile)
Cheers

Hey Sachin,

Everyone has given the best solution.
Practically speaking, I use pv (PerfView) which is one of the best tool for Performance metrics log & graph generation. It uses logs to generate the graph and it's really amazing tool. You can drill down as per your requirement, like CPU usage for a particular period, specifc time range, specific process and even the specific process metrics.

The command to execute pv (if installed already) is:

$ export DISPLAY::0.0
$ /opt/perf/bin/pv

or alternatively, login through Reflection X, (best tool) for HP-UX.

The other benefits of pv includes:

(a) Create diff. data source - multiple remote machines.
(b) All graphs contained under scope: LVOLUMES, SCOPE, SYSDOWNT (The main is SCOPE)
(c) See details on - History, CPU, Disk, Memory, Network, Queue, Application History, Class Compare, Class Detail & System Compare.

I am also attaching here of the log information displayed through pv and even the graps.

Cheers,
Sanjay

Sanjay:
I have GP and Scope and Measureware I could not find pv on my system. Do I have to Download from anywhere?
