Monitoring System Resources

System Monitor Reference

 

Number of Users

 

The number of users tells you how many users are logged in to a given system.

 

The MIB variable computerSystemUsers from the hp-unix MIB provides the

 

resource value to the monitor.

 

To verify the number of users on the system, use the uptime (1) command.

/system/numUsers

integer

Total number of users logged in to the node.

Alerts for number of users can be used to check number of users on the system to determine the best time to run backups or other maintenance, or to disallow more than a certain number of users on a given system for load-balancing.

The minimum polling interval is 30 seconds. We recommend a longer interval; short polling intervals may adversely affect system performance.
