Monitoring PRM with GlancePlus

You can use HP’s optional performance and monitoring tool GlancePlus to:

Display PRM reports

Display resource use in real-time

Set alarms to report when resource use is excessive

GlancePlus has both a text interface (glance) and an X-Windows interface (gpm). See the GlancePlus help facility for details.

NOTE: GlancePlus does not correctly track the PRM ID at the process level for HP-UX 11i v1 and later in versions C.02.65.00 through C.03.25.00. For correct metrics reporting for FSS PRM groups, use GlancePlus Version C.03.35.00 or later.

Also, GlancePlus returns incorrect data for the PRM_SYS group for PRM configurations with processor sets defined. Use the prmmonitor command instead of GlancePlus if you are using PSET PRM groups.

Monitoring PRM with OpenView Performance Agent (OVPA) / OpenView Performance Manager (OVPM)

You can treat your PRM groups as applications and then track their application metrics in OpenView Performance Agent for UNIX as well as in OpenView Performance Manager for UNIX.

NOTE: NOTE: If you complete the procedure below, OVPA/OVPM will track application metrics only for your PRM groups; applications defined in the parm file will no longer be tracked. GlancePlus, however, will still track metrics for both PRM groups and applications defined in your parm file.

To track application metrics for your PRM groups:

1.Edit /var/opt/perf/parm

Edit your /var/opt/perf/parm file so that the “log” line includes “application=prm” (without the quotes). For example:

log global application=prm process dev=disk,lvm transaction

2.Restart the agent

With PRM running, execute the following command:

%mwa restart scope

Now all the application metrics will be in terms of PRM groups. That is, your PRM groups will be “applications” for the purposes of tracking metrics.
