Hi,
can you please post the output of lparstat -i ... this would be helpful to determine what kind of system you have and if it's capped or uncapped and how much resources are in the shared pool
We are monitoring our systems for peak performance - 100% cpu usage for more than 1 min (4 measure intervals every 20 seconds) on capped systems (these lpars that don't have a shared pool where they can get more cpu if required) and we have setup a custom alert that let us know once computational memory crosses 80% or pagingspace 5% - here we measure every 5 min.
Please ge aware the AVM value in the vmstat -I output is in 4k pages ... and computational memory usage is all that really counts in a box (that is sufficient tuned). If your box is or not is something we cannot tell you without any outputs
Kind regards

DESCRIPTION
The System Monitor application displays a list of system processes, and monitors system usage. System Monitor shows which processes are

System Monitor also provides detailed information about individual processes, and enables the user to control which processes are running.
System Monitor displays how much processor (CPU) capacity the system is using, and how much disk space the system is using on each device.
System Monitor displays this information in a graphical interface so that users can see what the system is doing. Users can then use the
same graphical interface to modify the behavior of the system.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:

NOTES
You may disable System Monitor at SunRay. Because this application use /proc and keep polling for information, they may adversely effect
the performance of the system. But we will not change the default behavior and configuration for SunRay, if it give big impact to SunRay
performance, administrators should disable them by using gconfd/APOC.
The method to disable Monitor applet:
They may use Gnome lockdown features to modify the mandatory settings of the Gnome configuration on their servers to add that applet iden-
tifier to the list of disabled applets. you may use the following command (Note: Depending on when this is set, a logout may be required
to take effect) %gconftool-2 --type list --list-type string --set /apps/panel/global/disabled_applets [OAFIID:GNOME_MultiLoadApplet]
The method to disable Monitor application:
You may just remove the package containing it on their servers, or just change the permissions on the binary: %chmod 700 /bin/gnome-system-
monitor.
