You can treat your workload 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 that follows, OVPA/OVPM will
track application metrics only for your workload groups; applications
defined in the parm file will no longer be tracked. GlancePlus, however,
will still track metrics for both workload groups and applications defined
in your parm file.
To track application metrics for your workload 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 WLM running, execute the following command:
% mwa restart scope
NOTE The WLM workload groups must be enabled at the time the scopeux
collector is restarted by the mwa restart scope command. If WLM
is not running, or transient_groups is set to 1 in your WLM
configuration, data for some—or all—workload groups may be absent
from OpenView graphs and reports. Also, it may affect alarms
defined in /var/opt/perf/alarmdefs.
