How to get performance report for previous date?

Hi,
i need to compare system performance with previous days performance in terms of cpu,memory,swap utilisation by processes.

You will need to run vmstat and write it to a log for you to view on another day.

We run this daily at 12:01am

Code:
vmstat 60 1440 > /path/to/mylogs/vmstat.`date +%d`

This will log what you need every minute.

I have then written a perl script to generate a graph showing all the stats.

If you have measureware (aka perf manager) also installed with glance then you can use the "extract" utility to get historical stats.

Great thing about measureware is its "nice" (process priority) is like 1 or 2 from memory.

To get historical data run sar from cron through out the day. It writes to files that can latter be queried by sar to show historical data.

An example of using extract:

Code:
extract -xp -G -b today-5 -e today -f /tmp/metrics.out

The above command will export (-xp) mwa performance metrics to a file (-f /tmp/metrics.out) starting from 5 days ago (-b today-5) to today (-e today). The type of metrics being queried is Global metrics (-G).

Instead of -G you could use things like -d, which would get disk device details. Man of extract will show you all the types of stuff you can extract.
