Description

Run Queue Average

GBL_RUN_QUEUE

Average number of threads waiting in the run queue over

 

 

the interval.

Global Private Virtual

GBL_MEM_VIRT

Total private virtual memory (in MBs unless otherwise

Memory

 

specified) at the end of the interval. This is the sum of the

 

 

virtual allocation of private data and stack regions for all

 

 

processes.

Physical Memory

GBL_MEM_UTIL

Percentage of physical memory in use during the interval.

Utilization

 

This includes system memory (occupied by the kernel),

 

 

buffer cache and user memory. On HP-UX 11iv3 and above,

 

 

this includes file cache also.

Global Pageout Rate

GBL_MEM_PAGEOUT_RATE

Total number of page outs to the disk per second during

 

 

the interval. This reflects paging activity between memory

 

 

and paging space. It does not include activity between

 

 

memory and file systems.

Global Cumulative

GBL_MEM_PAGEOUT_RATE_CUM

Average number of page outs to the disk per second over

Pageout Rate

 

the cumulative collection time. This includes pages paged

 

 

out to paging space and to the file system.

Global Buffer Cache

GBL_MEM_CACHE_HIT_PCT

Percentage of buffer cache reads resolved from the buffer

Hit

 

cache (rather than going to disk) during the interval. Buffer

 

 

cache reads can occur as a result of a logical read (for

 

 

example, file read system call), a read generated by a client,

 

 

a read-ahead on behalf of a logical read, or a system

 

 

procedure.

Global Disk IO Rate

GBL_DISK_PHYS_IO_RATE

Number of physical IOs per second during the interval.

 

 

Only local disks are counted in this measurement. NFS

 

 

devices are excluded. All types of physical disk IOs are

 

 

counted, including file system IO, virtual memory IO, and

 

 

raw IO.

Global Net Inbound

GBL_NET_IN_PACKET_RATE

Number of successful packets per second received through

Packet Rate

 

all network interfaces during the interval. Successful packets

 

 

are those that have been processed without errors or

 

 

collisions.

Global Net Inbound

GBL_NET_IN_ERROR_RATE

Number of inbound errors per second on all network

Error Rate

 

interfaces during the interval.

Global Net Outbound

GBL_NET_OUT_PACKET_RATE

Number of successful packets per second sent through the

Packet Rate

 

network interfaces during the interval. Successful packets

 

 

are those that have been processed without errors or

 

 

collisions.

Global Net Outbound

GBL_NET_OUT_ERROR_RATE

Number of outbound errors per second on all network

Error Rate

 

interfaces during the interval.

Process CPU

PROC_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL

Total CPU time consumed by a process or kernel thread as

 

 

a percentage of the total CPU time available during the

 

 

interval.

Process System Mode

PROC_CPU_SYS_MODE_UTIL

Percentage of time that the CPU was in system mode in the

CPU

 

context of the process or kernel thread during the interval.

Process User Mode

PROC_CPU_USER_MODE_UTIL

Percentage of time the process or kernel thread was using

CPU

 

the CPU in user mode during the interval.

Process Virtual

PROC_MEM_VIRT

Size (in KB) of virtual memory allocated for the proces or

Memory

 

kernel thread.

Process Resident

PROC_MEM_RES

The size (in KB) of resident memory allocated for the process

Memory

 

or kernel thread.
