How to enable USER CPU% monitoring?

[Martti Muikkula]

Hello,
we are running opcagent Version: @(#)HP OpenView VantagePoint A.06.12.

The question is how to get monitored the avg USER CPU in dedicated system?
There is cpu_mon.sh, which checks only %sys, but we are interested in %sys.

Hi Martti.
There probally is some better way to do this but one way could be to use a logfile monitor.

If you use sar -u 30 30 and write the average output to a file, and then set up logfile reader to grep %usr you can define thresholds.

Hello Martti,


can you attach your cpu_mon.sh, we will help you modify the script for your requirement..

Once modified.. you can include this in OPC monitor template as a saperate entry so that usr% can be monitored separately.

Hi Martti,
sar can be use with -u option cpu utilization.Also you can choose your interval and easily write a script,run from
cron.
Also another solution is Glance from Hp
but it is a licensed product.
Good luck,

Thanks all for good hints!

I've tried to reply, but there's some resource problems in the forum.

Because MWA is in use, maybe the best way is to modify cpu_mon.sh.

Senthil, I'll attach the script here.

The script is monitoring CPU system time and CPU idle time and it's reporting when values exceed defined thresholds in /var/opt/OV/conf/OpC/cpu_mon.cfg.

I've attached modified cpu_mon.sh that can report on CPU user time. You'll need to add two new parameters in /var/opt/OV/conf/OpC/cpu_mon.cfg: USER_THR and USER_TIMES.

Thanks a lot!
I tested the script and it seems to work fine.
