Openview Performace Manager for Linux

Hello, does anyone know of a replacement for Openview performace manager on Linux. We don't want to use the HP performace manager anymor and are looking for a replacement.

Any help is greatly appreciated and points will be assigned.

Re: Openview Performace Manager for Linux

you can try sar - Collect, report, or save system activity information.

Try "man sar" for more info

I second that, however I don't think that sar as such is available for linux. I have used atsar (freshmeat) in the past that does the job. If anyone else knows of a sar package for linux please post, it would be helpful.

Re: Openview Performace Manager for Linux

sar in combination with sarcheck and you have a very neat automated performance analyzing tool.

sar in combination with vmstat, top, netstat and other little unix tools give you loads of performance stats.
