Java Tools for HP-UX 11i: Quick Start & Migration Guide

9
GlancePlus
GlancePlus is an advanced performance monitoring tool for HP-UX 11i systems, which is available
with a GUI or a text-based interface. Both versions can provide the same set of information – system-
wide performance data and process-specific data.
If you have GlancePlus installed on your HP-UX system, you can use the GlancePlus Adviser script,
javaGlanceAdviser.ksh, from the Java Migration Kit to collect information about a Java process.
(This script is also included in the HPjmeter 4.1 kit for HP-UX.) You can open the resulting data file
with HPjmeter to see graphs of system and process data. For more information, see the section titled
"Collecting Glance Data for Viewing in HPjmeter" in the online help in HPjmeter.
tusc
The tusc tool is used to trace the system calls of a process, similar to the truss tool on Solaris.
HP Caliper
HP Caliper is a general-purpose performance analysis tool for applications running on Integrity
systems. It helps you understand the execution of your applications and identify ways to improve their
performance.
Prospect
Prospect is a system performance tool for PA-RISC systems. The Hotspot JVM for PA-RISC provides the
–XX:+Prospect command line option to generate information for use by Prospect.
sar
The sar command is a tool to report various system activities, such as processor, I/O, context
switches, interrupts, page faults, and other kernel actions.
vmstat
The vmstat command reports statistics about the process, virtual memory, trap, and processor
activity.
iostat
The iostat command iteratively reports I/O statistics for each active disk on the system.
swapinfo
The swapinfo command displays information about device and file system paging space.
top
The top command displays the top processes on the system, periodically updating the information;
raw processor percentage is used to rank the processes.
netstat
The netstat command displays statistics for network interfaces and protocols as well as the contents
of various network-related data structures. It can show packet traffic, connections, error rates, and
more.
gcore
The gcore command creates a core dump of the specified process. This command is available
starting in HP-UX 11i v3.
