Hi All,
Does anyone know what the best commands in the UNIX command line are for obtaining this info:
current CPU usage
memory usage
virtual memory usage
preferably with date and time parameters too?
thanks

Hi,
I want to monitor the current cpu usage, monitor usage , disk I/o and network utlization for solaris using SNMP.
I want the oids for above tasks.
can you please tell me that

hi guys
I just want to know how to get the cpu/memory utilization of a running script?
Well i know that I can use the sar command but it shows the whole system's statistics.
Is it possible to get the stats of a single scirpt or a single running service? (6 Replies)
Hello all,
Below what I saw on my solaris 10 box :

Hello,
I'm seeing this problem with vmstat, where the first line of output always has the same CPU statistics. For example:

Is there a command or file I can look at that tells me how much real memory a machine has? A little background.

what is the best way to get the memory and cpu usage of a process on any system?
this is relatively simple. however, i'm looking for a unified method that would work on linux, sunos, hpux, aix.

Is there a way to test disk i/o of a process in a similar fashion?
I am trying different methods to limit disk writes in a 24/7 daemon process and would like to

Hi,
We have around 1000 server (Red Hat + Suse + Parallels + Solaris-9/10/11). Every month, we generate a report for all servers for CPU and Memory utilization in 'percentage used'. This report is generated from HP Openview and frequency is every file minutes. In HP OpenView, we are picking 20... (0 Replies)

sar(1M) System Administration Commands sar(1M)NAME
sar, sa1, sa2, sadc - system activity report package
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sa/sadc [ t n] [ofile]
/usr/lib/sa/sa1 [ t n]
/usr/lib/sa/sa2 [-aAbcdgkmpqruvwy] [-e time] [-f filename] [-i sec] [-s time]
DESCRIPTION
System activity data can be accessed at the special request of a user (see sar(1)) and automatically, on a routine basis, as described
here. The operating system contains several counters that are incremented as various system actions occur. These include counters for CPU
utilization, buffer usage, disk and tape I/O activity, TTY device activity, switching and system-call activity, file-access, queue activ-
ity, inter-process communications, and paging. For more general system statistics, use iostat(1M), sar(1), or vmstat(1M).
sadc and two shell procedures, sa1 and sa2, are used to sample, save, and process this data.
sadc, the data collector, samples system data n times, with an interval of t seconds between samples, and writes in binary format to ofile
or to standard output. The sampling interval t should be greater than 5 seconds; otherwise, the activity of sadc itself may affect the sam-
ple. If t and n are omitted, a special record is written. This facility can be used at system boot time, when booting to a
multi-user state, to mark the time at which the counters restart from zero. For example, when accounting is enabled, the svc:/sys-
tem/sar:default service writes the restart mark to the daily data file using the command entry:
su sys -c "/usr/lib/sa/sadc /var/adm/sa/sa'date +%d'"
The shell script sa1, a variant of sadc, is used to collect and store data in the binary file /var/adm/sa/sadd, where dd is the current
day. The arguments t and n cause records to be written n times at an interval of t seconds, or once if omitted. The following entries in
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/sys will produce records every 20 minutes during working hours and hourly otherwise:
0 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
20,40 8-17 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
See crontab(1) for details.
The shell script sa2, a variant of sar, writes a daily report in the file /var/adm/sa/sardd. See the OPTIONS section in sar(1) for an
explanation of the various options. The following entry in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/sys will report important activities hourly during the
working day:
5 18 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 8:00 -e 18:01 -i 1200 -A

NOTES
The sar service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/system/sar
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
