system monitor tool issue in HP-UX 11.31

[ranin_das]

Hi All,

As per customer requirement, we need to collect  data to analyze the server performance stats.  Sometimes they need previous dated data related with performance.  From community, I see that glance is the tool for that.

So how to get glance file.

So is there any other tool  for HP-UX 11.31 like as nmon ? 

I have application CD with BOE and VSOE CD packet. 

So please suggest  how to solve reported issue.

Regards,

Ranin

If the system has VSOE installed, then you probably already have Performance Agent installed and ru8nning. You can check by running:

ovpa status

assuming you get a response from that command that indicate the product is installed and running its very straightforward to collect data using the extract utility. Here's an example:

Create a file called /tmp/perf.cfg and add the following lines to it:

DATA TYPE GLOBAL
DATE
TIME
GBL_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL
GBL_MEM_UTIL
GBL_DISK_PHYS_READ_BYTE_RATE
GBL_DISK_PHYS_READ_RATE
GBL_DISK_PHYS_WRITE_BYTE_RATE
GBL_DISK_PHYS_WRITE_RATE

 Then Run the following:

extract -xp -g -r /tmp/perf.cfg -b FIRST -e LAST -f /tmp/perfdata_$(hostname).out,Purge

That should create a file called /tmp/perfdata_<hostname>.out containing sample data for every 5 minutes for CPU and memory utilisation, plus disk throughput and IOPS.

From memory I think the file /var/opt/perf/reptall lists all the different options for perf data you could specify in the report configuration file.

Hi Duncan,

I was outside of office for a long time.

Thanks for your response.  

BOE OS is installed under VSOE. So I need to collect performance(utilization:CPU, memory, HDD) in real time and also historical data from BOE.

As per HPE site, we can do it using glance.  So please share the link to download  glance as trial version.

I think, I can get it from HP-UX APP CD using codeword, pls confirm. If I can manage codeword.
