There are lots of third party tools available, some paid for some free. I have had some sucess with Xymon as it is aware of zones and is easy to install and configure. There are several other free tools as well Nagios etc, along with paid for tools like BMC Patrol.

Hope that helps.

Hi Peasant
i want check the cpu utilization without cronjobs?

Reason: wrong
we have an unix system which has
load average normally about 20.
but while i am running a particular unix batch which performs heavy
operations on filesystem and database average load
reduces to 15.
how can we explain this situation?
while running that batch idle cpu time is about %60-65... (0 Replies)

Hello all, I have a question about load averages.
I've read the man pages for the uptime and w command for two or three different flavors of Unix (Red Hat, Tru64, Solaris). All of them agree that in the output of the 2 aforementioned commands, you are given the load average for the box, but... (3 Replies)

Deal All,
I'm writing a simple awk to generate some sort of report. The awk will check 24 files (file generated each one hour in a wholoe day) and then it will print one field to another file for counting purposes.
The script is working fine but the problem is that the CPU load is very high... (10 Replies)
Hi all,
I'm using Solaris 10 and have an occasional problem where a process that runs near to midnight each day, takes anywhere between 30 seconds and over two minutes to complete. I suspect that the CPU is highly utilised during the times where it takes a long time to complete, but I need a way... (3 Replies)

I had the query as to whether the load average in a multi CPU machine should be
(load average/no of CPUs)
We have 4 CPU on our VMware RHEL instance, so the load average should be
Load average/4.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

Hi all,
Been reading a lot of the cpu load and its "analogy of it to car traffic path of expressway"
From wiki
Most UNIX systems count only processes in the running (on CPU) or runnable (waiting for CPU) states. However, Linux also includes processes in uninterruptible sleep states... (13 Replies)

sar
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
FILES
/tmp/sa.adrfl address file
/var/adm/sa/sadd Daily data file
/var/adm/sa/sardd Daily report file

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.
