1. Priority queue
?? What about CPU run queue? sar -q 5 5
2. Disk cache hit%
disk cache hit make sense only for storage based disks, the OS is not aware of that, you need to get this from the storage itself, try TPC, STOR2RRD or other storage perf tools
3. Page out rate
vmstat 5 5 (po metric), vmstat -s
4. Swap out rate
vmstat 5 5 (pi metric), vmstat -s
5. Memory queue
??? never heard about such metric, what it should be?

ARP(3) Library Functions Manual ARP(3)
NAME
arp - Internet Address Resolution Protocol
SYNOPSIS
bind -a #a /net/arp
/net/arp/ctl
/net/arp/data
/net/arp/stats
DESCRIPTION
The arp device provides the means by which the kernel resolves IP addresses into Ethernet addresses. A cache is maintained by the arp
device to speed the process.
The ctl file controls the ARP cache maintained by the kernel. The flush control message invalidates all entries in the cache. The delete
ipaddr control message invalidates a single cache entry. All IP addresses passed to the system are in the canonical textual form described
in ip(2). The perm ipaddr control message makes an existing cache entry permanent.
When the kernel boots, ipconfig sets up the IP stream and arpd opens #a/arp/data (see ipconfig(8)). This establishes the ARP cache and
enables arpd to receive all ARP packets from the network, which it uses to maintain the cache by writing the results of address resolution
requests back into the cache. The IP stream module uses the cache to translate IP addresses.
Subsequent opens of the data file allow the contents of the cache to be examined. Each cache entry consists of an IP address, an Ethernet
address, and the status of the entry. Entries may be invalid, permanent, or temporary. Permanent entries will never be aged from the
cache. Temporary entries may be replaced by new addresses entered by the ARP server.
The file stats reports the cache performance.
