Operating Systems HP-UX How to find the used memory in HP-UX? Post 302935679 by MadeInGermany on Wednesday 18th of February 2015 01:38:55 PM

A useful monitoring object is total available memory
Code:
swapinfo | awk '{total+=$2; used+=$3} END {print int(used*100/total)}'

And a warning threshold of 80 (percent usage).
This will warn before an "out of memory" situation occurs. It does not say anything about system performance.
Regarding CPU, a useful monitoring object is system load (obtained from the uptime command)
Code:
uptime | tr -d ',' | awk '
{
 v1=$(NF-2)/cores; v2=$(NF-1)/cores; v3=$NF/cores
 msg=sprintf ("- load average: %4.2f, %4.2f, %4.2f",v1,v2,v3)
}
(v1>w && v2>w && v3>w) { print "WARNING",msg; exit 1 }
{ print "OK",msg; exit 0 }
' w=1.1 cores=2

Best practice is an AND condition of (1min average, 5min average, 15min average) as done with awk,
and a threshold of 1.1 if the load is divided by the number of active virtual CPUs (here "cores" is set to 2).
Where the number of "cores" can be determined on HP-UX with
Code:
machinfo

or
Code:
top

I think in HP-UX 11.x the best command to determine the logical CPUs is
Code:
/usr/sbin/ioscan -k -C processor | grep -c '^[0-9]'
