CPU Utilization

[Edi Simanjuntak]

Dear All,

I've problem when I want to monitor performance my CPU (HP-UX 10.20). I used command line up time, but I am not sure about the result. Any command line can I use to monitor CPU utilization ?

[Wim Rombauts]

Try "sar -u "

You can also monitor a lot of other things with sar. Look at the manpage.

[Stefan Farrelly]

Use sar -uM 1 10

The M option shows cpu utilization per cpu - very handy for multiple cpu systems.

I would set up sar to continually gather statistics on the machine through cron. See the man pages for sar and sadc on how to do this.

Other options include Glance Plus Pak (which includes Measureware) and top.

Hi,
You can use "top" command for this apart from "sar" and "glance".Just do man "sar" and you will get the requisite arguements.

Thanks....

Hi
#sar -u; top ; glance commands will help you monitoring system performance.

All these commands give real time performance. You will have to use scripts with above commands to gather data for long period, unless you have measureware product installed and configured on your system.

Thaks.
