HP_UX performance monitoring

[rbarot]

From Where can I download SAR utility for hp-ux 11.23 ? Can anybody pls help ?

[Ivan Ferreira]

The sar command is part of the OS-Core.SYS2-ADMIN fileset and is included in the OS installation CD.

[Rick Garland]

Part ofthe base install for most UN*X'es

Linux you will need to select the 'sysstat' package

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom, it is part of the base OS and as noted can be installed off the Core OS DVD.

I'm guessing its not on the path.

whence sar

find /usr -name sar
find /opt -name sar

Then add the location to the path or execute it directly.

A set of scripts hp wrote and I improved to collect performance data.

Hi,

Sar is part of core O/S.

i suspect, either it is not in the PATH

or

pls tell me what is the command you try ?

By chance if you are trying #sar only it might give an error message.( if the scheduling is not configure )

pls try

#sar -u 1 5

As others have said -it is already installed - you just need to set it up.

I do this in root's cron:

# SAR
0 * * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa1
10,20,30,40,50 5-19 * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa1
# reduce the sar data
5 19 * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 5:00 -e 19:01 -i 600 -A

You also may have to:

mkdir /var/adm/sa


Sar should be in:

/usr/sbin/
