Hi
This will extract global summary information for the month of May(5) for all the metrics specified in /var/opt/perf/reptfile and output the data to /tmp/mwa_output.
You can customise what metrics you what to extract by using a customised file in place of reptfile and just use the metrics you are interested in.

extract -G -r /var/opt/perf/reptfile -xp m 5 -f /tmp/mwa_output

I don't know of a way to get mwa to average the figures. However you could easily write a script that parses the data and averages all the relevant metrics.

What I have done in the past is to extract on a weekly basis all the metrics I'm interested in, then run a script using the data in the output file and generate a weekly report displaying average, highest figures etc for the week.

Cheers

Hi Joseph

I have attached a copy of my script. However it is fairly customised for the last company I worked for & relies on you already having generated mwa data file using the extract command. Hopefully it will give you some ideas on using awk to get average, highest figures etc. If you need any explanations, let me know.

Cheers

Con,

Thanks for the script, can you also post the collectperf.sh script.

Many tnxs

Hi Joseph

I've attached the mwa_extract.sh script which is the script used to extract all the data from the measureware log files. It is the data that this script generates that is used by the perfsummary.sh script to generate performance reports. The collectperf.sh script is just a wrapper script specific to my company that calls mwa_extract.sh.
Hope this is of some help to you. If you need further explanations let me know.

Cheers
