Hi,
would like to know the server status from the following 'top' out put. Because, the application is giving a bad performance. would like to know whether the load is within the acceptable limit.

Hi All,
I would like to create a script that will monitor the server if it's heavy on the processing. I have already some scripts for monitoring disk capacity, application monitoring, etc but not on the bottleneck of the server processing.
I don't know which one to measure/query.
Can you... (2 Replies)
Ello group,
I have general question about how the performance of server/client should be?
My server is able to answer about 650times per second. Is it good performance?
the apache on the same machine makes 1600/sec BUT there is nine instances of httpd daemon what makes 180/ sec /instance.

Hi,
I am supposed to run few jobs based on the usage of unix server. How to find out if the server is too busy. what are the commands we can use to find out that.

Hi,
i would like to ask if it is possible to get the server load on a solaris machine, but i don't want something like uptime (load average), iostat and vmstat. I would like to get something in percentage like CPU load in %, Disk usage in %, Ram usage in %.
I want to collect this data and to... (3 Replies)
There is a big problem with the server (VPS based on OpenVZ, CentOS 5, 3GB RAM). The problem is the following. The first 15-20 minutes after starting the server is operating normally, the load average is less than or about 1.0, but then begins to increase sharply% wa, then hovers around 95-99%.... (2 Replies)
Hi,
how can we define performance of a server (Windows or Unix or Linux) ?
If processes waiting for CPU (on queue) are usually more than 3 or 5 can we conclude that CPU is not enough for that usage ?
Thank you. (1 Reply)
Hi Guys,
I am running Oracle database on RHEL 2.6.18-164.el5, now I want to check and make sure that my server is performing optimally.
I check top:
top - 09:45:03 up 2 days, 15:22, 3 users, load average: 2.57, 2.85, 2.77
Tasks: 433 total, 3 running, 430 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0... (1 Reply)
We are wondering if we are facing performance issue in our server when running Informatica jobs. Two things to suspect:
cache memory never comes down even when Top shows > 99% used.
There is some contention io or network related or Cache is clogged
top - 20:58:20 up 16 days, ... (3 Replies)

vmstat
VMSTAT(8) Linux Administrator's Manual VMSTAT(8)NAME
vmstat - Report virtual memory statistics
SYNOPSIS
vmstat [-n] [delay [ count]]
vmstat[-V]
DESCRIPTION
vmstat reports information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, traps, and cpu activity.
The first report produced gives averages since the last reboot. Additional reports give information on a sampling period of length delay.
The process and memory reports are instantaneous in either case.
Options
The -n switch causes the header to be displayed only once rather than periodically.
delay is the delay between updates in seconds. If no delay is specified, only one report is printed with the average values since boot.
count is the number of updates. If no count is specified and delay is defined, count defaults to infinity.
The -V switch results in displaying version information.
FIELD DESCRIPTIONS
Procs
r: The number of processes waiting for run time.
b: The number of processes in uninterruptable sleep.
w: The number of processes swapped out but otherwise runnable. This
field is calculated, but Linux never desperation swaps.
Memory
swpd: the amount of virtual memory used (kB).
free: the amount of idle memory (kB).
buff: the amount of memory used as buffers (kB).
Swap
si: Amount of memory swapped in from disk (kB/s).
so: Amount of memory swapped to disk (kB/s).
IO
bi: Blocks sent to a block device (blocks/s).
bo: Blocks received from a block device (blocks/s).
System
in: The number of interrupts per second, including the clock.
cs: The number of context switches per second.
CPU
These are percentages of total CPU time.
us: user time
sy: system time
id: idle time
NOTES
vmstat does not require special permissions.
These reports are intended to help identify system bottlenecks. Linux vmstat does not count itself as a running process.
All linux blocks are currently 1k, except for CD-ROM blocks which are 2k.
FILES
/proc/meminfo
/proc/stat
/proc/*/stat
SEE ALSO ps(1), top(1), free(1)BUGS
Does not tabulate the block io per device or count the number of system calls.
