Advanced WLM usage: Using performance metrics
Supplying data to WLM
Appendix H 489
The percentage of the total CPU time devoted to
processes in this group during the interval. This
indicates the relative CPU load placed on the system
by processes in this group.
APP_MEM_UTIL
The approximate percentage of the system’s physical
memory used as resident memory by processes in this
group during the interval.
For a list of metrics, see:
• The Application Metrics subsection of the Performance Metrics
section in the GlancePlus online help, available through gpm
• One of the /opt/perf/paperdocs/gp/C/metrics.* documents
• The glance_app(5) manpage. which lists some of the more frequently
used metrics (manpage also available at http://www.hp.com/go/wlm)
To extract application data (APP_* metrics), use wlmrcvdc with the
glance_app command in the configuration file. For example:
tune active_procs {
...
coll_argv = wlmrcvdc glance_app
APP_ACTIVE_PROC # Metric to monitor
Oracle; # Application defined in parm file
...
}
For wlmrcvdc conceptual information, see “Sending data with wlmsend
and wlmrcvdc: How it works” on page 509. For wlmrcvdc syntax
information, see “wlmrcvdc” on page 388.
GlancePlus global data
Global data provides information on the system as a whole.
Examples of GlancePlus global metrics are:
GBL_ACTIVE_PROC
The number of active processes. A process is active if it
exists and consumes some CPU resources.
GBL_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL
