The performance management tool suite consists
of the following:
- Collect
- Collgui plus Cfilt
- Two SNMP agents (pmgrd and clu_mibs)
These tools are included with the operating
system and do not require separate licensing. Collect is a tool that collects operating system
and process data under HP Tru64 UNIX Versions
4.x and 5.x. Collect is designed for high reliability
and low system-resource overhead.
The Collect tool gathers and displays information
for subsystems. You can set Collect to
gather data for a single subsystem or any combination
of the following:
- Process
- Memory
- Disk
- Tape
- LSM
|
- Network
- CPU
- TTY
- Filesystems
- Message queue
|
Accompanying Collect are two highly-integrated
tools, Collgui, a graphical front-end, and Cfilt,
a filter that allows completely arbitrary extraction
of data from Collect's output and displays it
to standard output. The Collgui utility is a labor-saving
tool that allows a user to quickly analyze Collect
data. Behind the scenes, it spawns Collect in
playback mode to read the Collect data. This is
filtered by Cfilt. Finally, the output from Cfilt
is fed to gnuplot, a public-domain plotting utility
that can display graphs in a variety of ways,
including X11, PostScript, and PPM (portable Pixmap).
The Performance Management Tools (PMT) metrics
server (pmgrd) is a UNIX daemon process that provides
general UNIX performance metrics on request. The
pmgrd metrics server supports the extensible SNMP
agent mechanism (eSNMP). The cluster MIBs metrics
server (clu_mibs) is a UNIX daemon that is an
eSNMP subagent implementing cluster MIB support
for the TruCluster Server product. The metrics
server currently supports Common Cluster MIB and
TruCluster Server MIB.
These base performance management tools include
new functionality, an easy-to-use interface, and
tighter integration through streamlining and centralizing
the set of the performance metrics
OpenView
products are also available that provide extensive
performance management capabilities to complement
those contained in Tru64 UNIX.
In addition, performance management products
for Tru64 UNIX are available from third-party
vendors.
