Glance scripting

[Andrew S Babb]

I am needing to obtain real time statistics from glance using a command line interface, and recording the information in a log file.

I believe this is possible with glance, but not measure ware, but cannot remember how it is done.

TIA

Hi there.
Look at the extract from the manpage :

SYNOPSIS
glance [-j interval] [-p [dest]] [-f dest] [-maxpages numpages]
[-command] [-nice nicevalue] [-nosort] [-lock]
[-adviser_off] [-adviser_only] [-iterations count]
[-syntax filename]
[-disks ] [-kernel ] [-nfs ] [-pids ]

What you need is the -f ( output to file ).

Run glance in advisor mode. To do this create an advisor file first that contains the metric you want to print out (refer to the glance help pages to figure out which you need). Here is an example for a file "advisor.ck":

CPU LOOP
PRINT GBL_NODENAME,GBL_STATDATE,GBL_STATTIME,GBL_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL,GBL_CPU_IDLE_UTIL,GBL_CPU_NORMAL_UTIL,GBL_CPU_SYS_MODE_UTIL,GBL_CPU_REALTIME_UTIL,GBL_CPU_NICE_UTIL,GBL_CPU_NNICE_UTIL
PRINT GBL_MEM_FREE,GBL_MEM_USER,GBL_MEM_SYS,GBL_MEM_CACHE,GBL_MEM_VIRT,GBL_MEM_ACTIVE_VIRT


Now invoke glance with

# glance -j 300 -adviser_only -syntax advisor.ck

Hi,

Actually measureware can do real time statistic please re-check.
