Hi guys, Any idea of a free sources for a performance monitor that can display a process statistics (all types and amounts of system calls, open files, etc.) It's Something similar to GLANCE process monitor section.
Hi, "Home made" scripts base in vmstat, top, netstat, iostat, bdf, nettl, lpstat, swapinfo and so on. Tail or grep log file (syslog, backup log). I am not aware about any free software for performance monitor.
Thanks Antoanetta for your answer. Still I need more details in one shot about a process. For example the sum of calls that trace utility gathered. Maybe "ktop" offers that (runs on linux and others but I am not aware of HPUX version - like all kde applications, ktop will need QT environment for HP and such).
Sar is a very good tool. For report process data, try timex. (see man timex). There is an old tool for counting resources used, acct. I never use it but you can try. (man acct). For network you can add ndd (HP11), nettune (HP10.20). Good luck!
Writing a short script would be easy to in collecting the data. The /usr/lbin/sa/sa1 will collect most of the data you are seeking. The call /usr/lbin/sa/sa2 to convert the binary output to text output and you have the stats. You can place in cron to run periodically through the day. The script can include other stats to get you the info such as vmstat, nfsstat, netttl, etc., for more info. The closest I have come was a perl script called 'sarge', the system activity report graphing engine. Problem with it however is it does not use some of the HP-UX specific sar options - not able to get info regarding swap as an example.
