Question need help on NMON in AIX

HI,

I have downloaded nmon 3.3c nmon analyzer, and run the command on aix ./nmon -f

After that I have terminated the process and found .nmon file.

when i have tried to open that file in nmon analyzer i.e in excel I am getting the error "no valid input data nmon run may have failed"

Please suggest.

please explain what you are trying to do at all ?

a valid once off nmon command would be
Code:
nmon -s 60 -c 3 -f

where -s is the interval between runs and -c the number of times you want to run it. I assume you have interrupted your run before it had been finished so your data is corrupted ?

Kind regards

Thanks for your quick response, basically my requirement is to collect the NMON data for one day or 2 day,

so i have run the command ./nmon so that i can terminate in between if I want.

please let me know the version which i am using is correct or any other version i have to use

also let me know i have terminated the ./nmon process after 15 mins this time interval is sufficient?

Wheather i have to copy the file before terminating?

Hi Manoj,

if you want to collect your data for lets say 24 hrs in 5 min intervals you could just setup a cronjob like:

Code:
03 0 * * * cd /var/mksysb_images/nmon && /usr/bin/nmon -s 300 -c 288 -f 2>/dev/null

and when you want to run nmon manually in addition, eg to check something, do it the normal way - run nmon as a plain command and once the screen opens, issue the keys of the screens you want to see.

I am running on my systems nmon Version 12e for 5300-07 and use nmon analyzer 3.39 - works perfectly fine for me.

Hope that helps,
kind regards

Hi Manoj,
unfortunately my souce was the same that now only offers 3.3c Smilie - I could send ou the file if you send me your mail via PM ?

Another thought: which excel version are you using ?

Kind regards
