performance testing

[JOHN TURNER_2]

Does anyone know if there are any free applications out there that i can download, to check the performance of the system, ie memory, cpu, load testing, Glance doesnt give me enough information

Check out OpenSTA, http://www.opensta.org/
I am not sure it can give you memory and cpu usage, but it for used for Stress and load testing.

Use vmstat for memory, cpu load informations easily. A tool called vsar there also. It is useful.

John,

What about ,

# iostat 5 5
# vmstat 5 5
# ps -el | sort -r -k10 | more
# sar -u -M 5
# top
# netstat
# lsof


Also attached one script that can capture cpu and Physical Memory usuage over a period..

Enjoy,
Cheers,
Raj.

John,

Also you can download the sarchek utility for measuring performance , with sar data ..

Here it is :

www.sarcheck.com

Here are the books for performation related informations,

Our system programmers are using OpenSTA for heavy load tests. Our web servers are IIS 6, application servers are Weblogic on HP-UX 11v2.

"The current toolset has the capability of performing scripted HTTP and HTTPS heavy load tests with performance measurements from Win32 platforms."

sarcheck isn't free....

If you have glance, then you should have measurware.

From root's cron:

# performance

You will only have MeasureWare (OV Perf agent) with Glance if you ordered it separately, or ordered GlancePlus Pak, or have the Enterprise Operating Environment, or have the Mission Critical Operating Environment. GlancePlus for Motif has almost 1000 metrics(Measueware has 5 min averages for up to 300), what do you need? Remember that sar, iostat, vmstat are all available. If you are looking to analyze the application performance, then tusc, and calipher (on Itanium) are available. Check the programmers tools, or the ones for JAVA if you are using that as your application.
