Cacti

On our AIX serveres, we are running multiple instances of a service - Each one running under it's own user. Would it be possible to gather the CPU usage occupied by each user? afaik it's not possible with NMON since this type of data is not gathered via the nmon-service. But it's definitely possibl...

Hi, here are 2 examples of using query_nmon with the advanced types: sax82142:~ # sudo -u cacti /usr/bin/perl /srv/www/vhosts/cacti/scripts/query_nmon.pl 10.72.16.43 IOADAPT query xfer-tps 0:0.0 1:2.2 sax82142:~ # sudo -u cacti /usr/bin/perl /srv/www/vhosts/cacti/scripts/query_nmon.pl 10.72.16.43 IO...

Hi, can you post the output of dumpinfo ? The advanced types can be handled like you said manually or via the so called Data Queries. The Data Queries are defined as XML Files. In this XML File you specify the script which has to be called and how it gets the available e.g. device names. In the end ...

sorry for the delay, here is the actual version. As written in a previous post I have rewritten the whole thing and reduced it to 3 files. mod_query_nmon.pm - Perl Module with all needed functions parse_nmon_cacti.sh - shell script which is executed on the aix boxes for gathering nmon-data query_nmo...

Hi folks, I've completely rewritten the whole bunch and will post the new version soon. There are some performance improvements and I've reduced the whole bunch of scripts to one (and one perl module). I also removed the so called "user" running mode. regarding the question with the daemon...

after some research I discovered the following: the raw snmp value is the CPU time spent in milliseconds for the corresponding workload (idle,wait,user,system,...) because cacti is breaking down the 5 minute-counter-values into per-second-values AND the values are in milliseconds it displays the cor...

It really seem to display the correct values (compared it with the default statistics), but why ?????

Hi Gandalf, maybe I'm wrong, but I think your template is not correct. In your template you take the raw CPU-time-counters and simply printing them on a graph (without actually calculating the percentage value via a CDEF). For whatever reason it sums up to a value of about 100 - but why ?? maybe som...

Hi,

I'm glad that someone is using it

If you run it in "user" mode, you have to expect a fairly high CPU usage on the AIX boxes - that's why I added the "daemon" mode. If that's no problem for you, please send me the output in DEBUG mode.

best regards,

Hi, I've created a template for monitoring AIX Servers via NMON. It monitors many different aspects of an AIX Server including: CPU (cumulative and per CPU statistics) Memory (distribution and stats) Disk (Busy [%] and Read/Write Rate) IO Adapter Statistics (Read/Write Rate) JFS Statistics (Used Ino...
