VMSTAT OUTPUT WITH DATE & TIME

[oprakash]

Hi,

I want to take vmstat output with date & time, every 30 min time interval for 24 hous if its possible can any one suggest.

Hi Omprakash,

For time

vmstat -t

-t
Prints the time-stamp next to each line of output of vmstat. The
time-stamp is displayed in the HH:MM:SS format. Note: Time stamp
will not be printed if -f, -s, or -i flags are specified.

My example for daily 8 hour with date in filename :
vmstat -t 1 28800 >/home/db2inst1/nncron/vmstats/nnVmstat8h_`date +%Y
%m%d"-"%H%M`.log

Or check the manpage

man vmstat

there is no such option with vmstat in hp-ux. you can redirect to its output in a file with a counter and interval options.

HI,
Make a script and put this into cron job and set to run every 30 min of intervel.

Shalom,

If the man page for vmstat can not do this for you then try a script like this:


while true
do
vmstat >> ouptut
date >> output
done
