NMON (plus the NMON Analyzer) work very well for displaying and capturing system resource utilization both interactively and into a file for long-term monitoring. Both tools were created and supported by IBM employees

NMON is available at:

IBM Wikis - AIX 5L Wiki - nmon

Have you tried to type nmon? (/usr/sbin/nmon...) and pstat
