Need paramaters/tunables that a sys admin would like to monitor - kcweb team

[Sanjay Yugal Kishore Ha]

Hello,

Greetings!

Currently, in HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) release, the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool (kcweb) has the capability to monitor some of the kernel tunables viz.
dbc_max_pct
maxdsiz
maxdsiz_64bit
maxfiles_lim
maxssiz
maxssiz_64bit
maxtsiz
maxtsiz_64bit
maxuprc
max_thread_proc
msgmni
msgseg
msgtql
nfile
nflocks
ninode
nkthread
nproc
npty
nstrpty
nstrtel
semmni
semmns
shmmax
shmmni

We plan to extend the monitoring for some more kernel parameters/tunables. We are collecting the list of kernel tunables, which can be included for monitoring from a system administrator's point of view.

We would appreciate if you can provide a prioritized list of parameters/tunables that would qualify for being monitored for next release.

Looking forward to your inputs....

Thanks,
Sanjay (for the kcweb team)

Try this script set for perf monitoring. If I submitted to your prior thread, sorry.

Well for us morons who distrust dynamic buffer cache, bufpages and nbuf would be good also dbc_min_pct.

Hi Sanjay,

Does kcweb support the following tunables?

swchunk
maxswapchunks

Also, refer to the following Webpage:

Hope this helps.
