UX bandwidth monitor tool

[Alex Grigore]

Hi guys,

I am to compute how much bandwidth an oracle application needs. I browsed oracle metalink but as I found no precise answer, I shall do it myself.

The application and oracle database are installed on an HP-UX B.11.11 machine. Clients connect by means of http.

What tool should I use? Is there a similar tool available for UX as iptraf on LINUX?

Thanks and regards,
AlexG.

You will probably find Glance/GlancePlus, a paid in extra(60 day trial disk 1 of the app cd's) will do the trick.

Other tools:
ethereal
tcpdump

Thank you for you answer SEP.
I will install the package from the CD-ROM since the downloaded file keeps on prompting corruption related errors.

I will keep you guys posted.


Thanks and regards,

Hi guys,

For future references, I have found that a rough estimate shall be 6-12kbps per user for Oracle's OFI.

I will post also the results obtained using HP's glance tool.

iptraf will give data's based on interface. You can get it with # netstat -ivn execution.

#!/bin/ksh
#Monitor.ksh
while [[ 1 ]]
do
netstat -ivn
sleep 5
clear
done
# exit
exit 0
########

It will give you the details.

That's a nice one Muthukumar. It does the same thing as the Glance tool - monitor the interface.

Thank you guys,
