Agents Sysload : Metrics definition

[Stephane_Le_Goffic_6129]

The documents listed below describe the different metrics used for each type of agent:

• Sysload Agents for Operating Systems
• Sysload Agents for Windows
• Sysload Agents for UNIX & Linux
• Sysload Agent for VMware Host
• Sysload Agent for VMware Cluster
• Sysload Agent for PowerVM
• Sysload Agent for IBM Vios

Sysload Agents for Operating Systems

Please note that this agent does not exist as such. The document groups diagnostic metrics exposed by System Agents (Agent for Windows, Agent for Unix, Agent for OS400).

Please refer to the specific documents of each system agent to see the definition of the associated metrics.

In the attached document you will find the definitions of the following metrics:

• Saturation Diagnostic > Overall
• Saturation Diagnostic > Processor
• Saturation Diagnostic > Memory
• Saturation Diagnostic > Disks
• Saturation Diagnostic > Disk Specific
• Saturation Diagnostic > Network
• Saturation Diagnostic > Network Specific
• Usage Diagnostic > Processor
  
• Usage Diagnostic > Memory
• Usage Diagnostic > Disks
• Usage Diagnostic > Network
• Usage Diagnostic > Network Specific
• Usage Diagnostic > Application

Sysload Agents for Windows

The agent monitors the Windows servers. An agent represents a Monitored Object (the server on which the agent is installed).

Note: In addition to the counters listed below, the agent exposes diagnostic metrics. Please refer to the "Agents for Operating Systems" document for a summary describing these metrics.

In the attached document you will find the definitions of the following metrics:

• Processor activity > Overall 
• Processor activity > Specific
• Memory utilization > Overall
• Cache activity > Overall
• Disk activity (physical) > Overall
• Disk activity (physical) > Average per Disk
• Disk activity (physical) > Specific
• Disk activity (logical) > Overall
• Disk activity (logical) > Average per Disk
• Disk activity (logical) > Specific
• IP, TCP & UDP Protocols > Overall
• Network interface > Overall
• Network interface > Specific
• NetBEUI > Overall
• Server > Overall
• SNA Server > Connections
• SNA Server > LU Sessions
• User > Specific
• User (short name) > Specific
• Application > Specific
• Application (short name) > Specific
• Shared Folder > Specific
• Shared Folder (short name) > Specific
• Service Monitoring > Specific
• Service Monitoring (short name) > Specific
• Storage Space Monitoring > Specific
• Spool queues > Global
• Spool queues > Specific

Sysload Agents for UNIX & Linux

The agent monitors the Unix and Linux servers. An agent represents a Monitored Object, (the server on which the agent is installed).

Note: In addition to the indicators listed below, the agent exposes diagnostic metrics. Refer to the "Agents for Operating Systems" document for a complete description of these metrics.

Important: The agent exposes a common list of metrics for each Unix and Linux server. The availability of the metric depends on the distribution of the operating system. See "Agent for Unix, Administrator Guide" for details on the availability of metrics by OS type.

In the attached document you will find the definitions of the following metrics:

• Processor activity > Overall
• Processor activity > Specific
• Memory utilization > Overall
• Cache activity > Overall
• Disk activity > Overall
• Disk activity > Average per disk
• Disk activity > Specific
• Network interface > Overall
• Network interface > Specific
• IP, TCP & UDP protocols > Overall
• NFS activity > Server
• NFS activity > Client
• Connections analysis > Overall
• Connections analysis > Remote
• Connections analysis > Local
• IPC analysis > Overall
• File System > Specific
• User > Specific
• User (short name) > Specific
• Application > Specific
• Application (short name) > Specific
• Workload > Specific
• Workload (short name) > Specific
• Storage Space Monitoring > Specific
• Virtualization - IBM > CPU Pool
• Virtualization - IBM > LPAR
• Virtualization - IBM > LCPU
• Virtualization - IBM > VMM
• Virtualization - IBM > AME
• Virtualization - IBM > AMS
• Virtualization - VMWARE > Processor
• Virtualization - VMWARE > Memory
