Using HP-UX Workload Manager: A quick reference

What status information does HP-UX Workload Manager

provide?

WLM has three log files to keep you informed:

• /var/opt/wlm/msglog

WLM prints errors and warnings about configuration file syntax on stderr. For messages

about on-going WLM operations, WLM logs error and informational messages to

/var/opt/wlm/msglog, as shown in the following example:

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13931) Ready to forward data for metric

"m_apache_access_2min"

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13931) Using "/door00/wlm_cfg/apache_access.pl"

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13932) Ready to forward data for metric

"m_list.cgi_procs"

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13932) Using "/door00/wlm_cfg/proc_count.sh"

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13930) Ready to forward data for metric

"m_apache_access_10min"

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13930) Using "/door00/wlm_cfg/apache_access.pl"

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13929) Ready to forward data for metric

"m_nightly_procs"

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13929) Using "/opt/wlm/lbin/coll/glance_prm"

05/07/06 14:12:44 [I] (p13921) wlmd 13921 starting

05/31/06 03:42:10 [I] (p13921) /var/opt/wlm/wlmdstats has been renamed to

/var/opt/wlm/wlmdstats.old.

• /var/opt/wlm/wlmdstats

WLM can optionally produce a log file that includes data useful for verifying WLM management or

for fine-tuning your WLM configuration. This log file, /var/opt/wlm/wlmdstats, is created when you

start the WLM daemon with the -l option:

# /opt/wlm/bin/wlmd -a config.wlm -l slo

For information on the -l option, see the wlmd(1M) manpage.

The following example is a line from a wlmdstats file:

1119864350 SLO=mySLO sloactive=1 goaltype=nogoal goal=nan goalsatis=1 met=nan

metfresh=0 mementitl=0 cpuentitl=4 clipped=0 pri=101 ask=30.000000 got=30.000000

grp=4 coll=0

• /var/opt/wlm/wlmpardstats

The WLM global arbiter, used in managing SLOs across virtual partitions and nPartitions and in

optimizing Temporary Instant Capacity (version 6 or later) and HP Pay per use (v4, v7, or later),

can optionally produce a statistics log file. This log file, /var/opt/wlm/wlmpardstats, is created

when you start the WLM global arbiter daemon with the -l option:

# /opt/wlm/bin/wlmpard -a config.wlm -l vpar

For information on the -l option, see the wlmpard(1M) manpage.
