Problem is, if your machine is constantly using 100% of CPU (you should have atleast 5% for system).
In general, you need to find out what is being ran @ that time you saw a spike of CPU usage (database layer if db is used).
The tools for developers are : tusc, gdb and execution plans (db)
The tools for system folks are : sar, lsof, iostat, vmstat, glance
I would like to emphasize sar here, as a most useful tool (at least for me) for constant monitoring on HPUX systems. Have it run in cron collecting data all the time.
Something like :
Code:
0 * * * * /usr/lbin/sa/sa1 300 12
Be sure to inspect the /usr/lbin/sa/sa1 script and select where you want the actual log (/var/adm/sa being default)
Then you will be able to inspect the files generated using sar -A -f /var/admsa/sadate
Check man sar for additional switches, there is plenty for everything.
There is also free software which will enable you to draw graphs from those files, or use awk to draw some conclusions.
how can i monitor usages of CPU, Memory, Hard disk etc. under SUN Solaries
through a c program or java program
i want to store that data into database so i can show it graphically
thanks in advance (2 Replies)
Please tell me solaris functions/api for getting following information

System FreeBSD.
Issue: I see that system idle = 0% in the same time top and other commands show that all process eat 0% of cpu.
System calls 98%
CPU states: 7.9% user, 0.0% nice, 91.8% system,<==!!!
But top does not show any process which eats more than 0%

Hi all,
When I have a below while loop in my code (This observation is same for C and Perl)
i= 0;
while(1)
{
i++;
}
for above the CPU uses goes beyond 49% on hp-ux machine, why cpu usage increase at this level for just a simple while loop?
and if I have a single print statement... (2 Replies)

Hello Friends,
On one of my Solaris 10 box, CPU usage shows 100% using "sar", "vmstat". However, it has 4 CPUs and prstat and glance are not showing enough processes to justify high CPU utilization.

Hi all,
I'm using python and psutil a library to get system informations like cpu usage (percent) for a given process.
My question is if I have the value in % of the cpu usage how I could get the cpu usage in cycle number I mean not in percent?
Thanks a lot

sa2
sa2(8) BSD System Manager's Manual sa2(8)NAME
sa2 -- Generate a system activity daily report file.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sa/sa2 [-dgpu] [-n mode] [-e time] [-f filename] [-i seconds] [-s time]
DESCRIPTION
The sa2 command is a shell script used to invoke the system activity reporter sar for purposes of generating the standard default daily
report file. The report file generated is, /var/log/sa/sardd where the dd represents the current day of the month. The sa2 options are the
same as those documented in sar(1).
When sa2 runs, it will also remove data and report files, found in /var/log/sa, that are more than one week old.
The sa2 command is intended to be started by cron.
EXAMPLE CRON ENTRY
# Starting at 8am collect system activity records
# every 20 minutes for 12 hours
# 20 minutes = 1200 seconds
# 12 hours with 3 samples each hour = 36 loops
0 8 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1200 36
# After the 12 hour period,
# collect a system activity report
30 20 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
FILES
/var/log/sa/sardd Default daily report file.
/var/log/sa/sadd Default daily data file.
dd are digits that represent the day of the month.
