Utilization Provider
Chapter 5
125
Impact
When Utilization Provider is installed, it launches the utild daemon, which consumes
minimal CPU, memory, and disk resources. Only 30 days of utilization data are kept in
data files in /var/adm/util. The total disk space used by these files should not exceed
5MB in the default utild installation. The Virtual Server Environment (VSE)
Management Software, which was released via special media release in early 2006,
relies on the Utilization Provider. Removing Utilization Provider will prevent the VSE
Management Software from functioning properly.
Compatibility
There are no known compatibility issues.
Performance
The utild process wakes up every 5 minutes and discovers and records the four metrics
(CPU, memory, disk, and network). This discovery has minimal impact on system
performance.
Documentation
For further information, see the utild (1M) manpage and the WBEM schema (MOF files),
which are located in /opt/util/mof.
Obsolescence
Not applicable.
