Option/parameter

-t {summary conflict hourly daily weekly monthly}

[LINEBREAK]Abbreviated form:[LINEBREAK]-t {s c h d w m}

Description

Specifies the report type. Valid report types are:

summary (default)

Provides a high-level view of resource use and is a

 

good starting point when creating a new PRM

 

configuration.

 

See also the -1option.

conflict

Provides a detailed view of resource use and is good

 

for fine-tuning a PRM configuration.

 

This report requires a resource_density that is

 

set using the prmanalyze -doption or defaults to

 

a value specified in the -ddescription.

 

Whenever resource use exceeds the

 

resource_density, a “conflict” occurs. Each

 

conflict is reported separately, with its start time, stop

 

time, peak consumption, and a list of the processes

 

(grouped by sort type) that contributed to the conflict.

 

This report is generated using averages and assumes

 

that resource consumption rates remain relatively

 

constant over the life of the process.

 

Granularity of the conflict report is to the minute.

hourly

Divides the accounting files into one-hour slices. This

 

report can help you spot common time-based usage

 

patterns where you might use PRM to prevent

 

contention. Partial hours at the end of the accounting

 

files are not reported.

daily, weekly, monthly

These reports provide higher-level views of the same

 

data given in the hourly report. These reports can

 

help you determine peaks, overall trends, and usage

 

patterns.

 

The weekly and monthly reports are most commonly

 

used for resource planning and billing purposes.

Each report type can be abbreviated using its first letter.

-p

Requests that available accounting information for all currently running processes be

 

added to the report.

 

This option allows you to get data on server applications that run indefinitely and

 

consequently are not tracked in the accounting files.

-1

Removes all values that are less than 1% of the total.

 

This option can be used with any report, but is most often used when generating a

 

summary report (-t summary). It makes the report shorter and easier to read.

 

This option is most useful when sorting by command (-s command) or when determining

 

the biggest resource consumers.

 

When using this option, values in the total column may not sum to 100%.

-E

Generates reports using the exponential format (x.yE+p, which equates to x.y times

 

10p).

 

This option is most useful when generating a monthly report (-t monthly) for disk or

 

memory, and the total values or peak values are in the terabyte range.
