Re: performance measurement
For interactively monitor, you want Glance.
For historical monitoring you want Measureware.
The beauty is that they come as a package in the GlancePlus Pak.

Re: performance measurement
as Patrick pointed out Glance and MeasureWare are the best for collecting performance data for HP boxes.
They'll give you a hook onto every conceivable system metric for the HP-UX kernel.
But I'd also like to point your attention on another free tool that I discovered recently by an article in a German Linux magazin.
It's called Munin (don't know what that stands for).
If you're into scripting it is highly extendable and customizable.
It really is great on Linux and Solaris boxes.
The first is obvious, because it can easily collect all data from the the /proc virtual "kernel filesystem".
While for Solaris SUN once introduced kstat with a really nice Perl plug-in.
With kstat you get all the metrics of the Solaris kernel.
But you could also adopt Munin for use on an HP-UX box, maybe doesn't it so nicely integrate because you get not that easy at the HP-UX kernel metrics without the official HP products mentioned above.
A nice feature about Munin is that it uses round robin databases (like MeasureWare does by its data logfiles).
That means you do not need to care about collected data using up your filesystem space.
And it froduces nice graphs to be watched through a webbrowser.
Go here
http://www.linpro.no/projects/munin/
to find out more about it.
Here
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/
you can find out about the used data storage backend (i.e. RRDtool)
It's also versatile for storing any kind of data that is steadily updated.

Re: performance measurement
i am agree with Patrick's advice Glance
also i am still using it.
On the other hand,if you have SAN env
then i would suggest you to get SAN monitoring tools and use Glance(for your HP boxes) at the same time for best results
Good Luck,

Re: performance measurement
Measureware enables you to set alarms (alarmdef file) when particular metric exceeds defined threshold
You have also ability to define bottlenecks since they might depend on several metrics.
Take a look into Doug Grumann's document.
