Hi,

Perfview and measureware are some HP tools you can make use of.

For freeware, try MRTG which interfaces with snmp to query HP-UX MIB OID values (such as CPU load). Found at:

http://www.mrtg.org

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

Using measureware (part of the glance product)
has it's own database collection which is quite
easy to extract information. There is a 60 day
trial version on the application CD set. You
could write some scripts to extract information
out of sar, but these tools do not really give
an accurate picture with todays different pieces
of hardware that is being used.

You could also try

www.sarcheck.com

I found it really useful, it uses sar to collect data then creates a html report for you

You can get a free eval version (trial)

Regards

To check machine stats

/usr/sbin/sar -u -M > /logging/perf/`date +%b%Y`/cpu`date +%d` 2> /dev/null
/usr/sbin/sar -b > /logging/perf/`date +%b%Y`/buffer`date +%d` 2> /dev/null
/usr/sbin/sar -d > /logging/perf/`date +%b%Y`/disk`date +%d` 2> /dev/null
