Operating Systems Solaris Help me Solaris 10&11 cpu load average states for 24 hours report
# 8  
Old 09-10-2014
Well, i'm running mostly servers with oracle databases and NFS clusters on ldoms, so no users (except DBA and system engineers) are using it.

Everything is kerberized and being logged on domain controllers.

Nothing has access to hypervisors except people who are trusted (a few).

As for access to users for various filesystems, can be accomplished safely with ACL's or chroot (built in ssh is nice), not compromising security.

On development / test systems i tend to relax things a bit and let people monitor how things work.

Production is and should deterministic e.g. you will not have performance problems if you tested everything before on same configuration.

Unfortunately, today practice is to have various tools monitoring everything, since code is being hyper produced and pushed into production with less and less testing resulting in production machines being brought to its knees.

Sorry for the offtopic, we should stop now, if you want to debate my PM is open Smilie

uptime

UPTIME(1)							   User Commands							 UPTIME(1)

NAME

       uptime - Tell how long the system has been running.

SYNOPSIS

       uptime [options]

DESCRIPTION

       uptime  gives  a one line display of the following information.	The current time, how long the system has been running, how many users are
       currently logged on, and the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.

       This is the same information contained in the header line displayed by w(1).

       System load averages is the average number of processes that are either in a runnable or uninterruptable state.	A process  in  a  runnable
       state is either using the CPU or waiting to use the CPU.  A process in uninterruptable state is waiting for some I/O access, eg waiting for
       disk.  The averages are taken over the three time intervals.  Load averages are not normalized for the number of CPUs in  a  system,  so  a
       load average of 1 means a single CPU system is loaded all the time while on a 4 CPU system it means it was idle 75% of the time.

OPTIONS

       -p, --pretty
	      show uptime in pretty format

       -h, --help
	      display this help text

       -s, --since
	      system up since, in yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS format

       -V, --version
	      display version information and exit

FILES

       /var/run/utmp
	      information about who is currently logged on

       /proc  process information
