[Orca-users] AIX monitors for Orca

[Rajesh Verma]

David,

I know the orca perl script for AIX is good in terms of very less data.

NMON is IBM certified tool now. It does not come with the O/S but can
be downloaded from IBM site. Its free. Its just like top in linux.

I've looked at the data files that nmon spits out.  They're definitely

designed for spreadsheet processing -- parsing through them to generate

orcallated data using perl and/or unix toolkits is going to be a bear. 

They're also /enormous/ data files, by comparison.  I think the aix 
orcallator that Rajesh contributed a few months ago that we've been 
tweaking is going to be more productive, and will ultimately represent

the same data.  Also, I think nmon requires a lot more overhead than a

perl script would -- I don't think it's designed to run 24x7 as SOP,
but 
rather, to be run during specific intervals while you're trying to fix

an already-identified performance problem.

Rajesh - do you know whether nmon is part of the standard AIX OS 
install, or is it a separate (cost? free?) product that must be 
specifically installed by the user for monitoring purposes?
