Make Tool for monitor!

[pavenvn]

Hi all,
My company system:
- HPUX B.11 9000/800
- Oracle 8.1.7
- Bea Tuxedo 7.1
We use glance Utility to monitor the system and write 3 parameters CPU,DISK,MEMOMRY to file every 3 mins for the statistic reports. Now I want to write a program which do this task automatic. I have some questions:
1. How to export glance to file?
2. glance Utility run on the background will occupy the resource system(CPU,MEM,DISK)?
3. what is the sar, vmstat Utility?
Thanks alot,

pavenvn

PS: My program overview:
1> Server:
Create cronjobs: every 2 mins output to text file. In cronjob run one of the following Utility:
- sar -u 1 1
- glance ????
- vmstat ???
2> Client have 2 program:
- A program use FTP to get data and standardize data. Then put to the database.
- A program have GUI to display the data which get from the database. I f CPU, MEM,DISK > 90% to raise alrm!

You may already have a tool that does this, and much more - do you just have GlancePlus, or do you in fact have 'GlancePlus Pak' - If you have GlancePlus Pak, then you also have measurware installed - this will have been merrily gathering all the stats you see in glance every 5 minutes since your box was switched on, although it might have wrapped round its files since then...

type:

mwa status

if this comes back with some meaningful information, then you have measureware installed - now take a look at the man page for 'extract' for info on how to get data out of measureware.

yes you definately want to be using measureware for this, it's what it's designed for. don't try and reinvent the wheel by scripting glance.

for more information using glance syntax, check /opt/perf/paperdocs/gp/C/adviser.pdf

for example, I would like to have CPU usage in past an hour.

In cron,
01 01 * * * /opt/perf/bin/glance -adviser_only -syntax /tmp/temp -iterations 60 -j 60 >/tmp/cpu.log &

# cat /tmp/temp
print "cpu=", gbl_cpu_total_util|7|0, "%"

Hi all,

The monitor program which I want to write must raise ALARM when CPU/MEM/DISK > 95%. It means that the program is background program (every 3 mins refresh).
