Metric Name
Glance Adviser Metric
Name
Average number of threads waiting in the run queue over
the interval.
GBL_RUN_QUEUE
Run Queue Average
Total private virtual memory (in MBs unless otherwise
specified) at the end of the interval. This is the sum of the
GBL_MEM_VIRT
Global Private Virtual
Memory
virtual allocation of private data and stack regions for all
processes.
Percentage of physical memory in use during the interval.
This includes system memory (occupied by the kernel),
GBL_MEM_UTIL
Physical Memory
Utilization
buffer cache and user memory. On HP-UX 11iv3 and above,
this includes file cache also.
Total number of page outs to the disk per second during
the interval. This reflects paging activity between memory
GBL_MEM_PAGEOUT_RATE
Global Pageout Rate
and paging space. It does not include activity between
memory and file systems.
Average number of page outs to the disk per second over
the cumulative collection time. This includes pages paged
out to paging space and to the file system.
GBL_MEM_PAGEOUT_RATE_CUM
Global Cumulative
Pageout Rate
Percentage of buffer cache reads resolved from the buffer
cache (rather than going to disk) during the interval. Buffer
GBL_MEM_CACHE_HIT_PCT
Global Buffer Cache
Hit
cache reads can occur as a result of a logical read (for
example, file read system call), a read generated by a client,
a read-ahead on behalf of a logical read, or a system
procedure.
Number of physical IOs per second during the interval.
Only local disks are counted in this measurement. NFS
GBL_DISK_PHYS_IO_RATE
Global Disk IO Rate
devices are excluded. All types of physical disk IOs are
counted, including file system IO, virtual memory IO, and
raw IO.
Number of successful packets per second received through
all network interfaces during the interval. Successful packets
GBL_NET_IN_PACKET_RATE
Global Net Inbound
Packet Rate
are those that have been processed without errors or
collisions.
Number of inbound errors per second on all network
interfaces during the interval.
GBL_NET_IN_ERROR_RATE
Global Net Inbound
Error Rate
Number of successful packets per second sent through the
network interfaces during the interval. Successful packets
GBL_NET_OUT_PACKET_RATE
Global Net Outbound
Packet Rate
are those that have been processed without errors or
collisions.
Number of outbound errors per second on all network
interfaces during the interval.
GBL_NET_OUT_ERROR_RATE
Global Net Outbound
Error Rate
Total CPU time consumed by a process or kernel thread as
a percentage of the total CPU time available during the
interval.
PROC_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL
Process CPU
Percentage of time that the CPU was in system mode in the
context of the process or kernel thread during the interval.
PROC_CPU_SYS_MODE_UTIL
Process System Mode
CPU
Percentage of time the process or kernel thread was using
the CPU in user mode during the interval.
PROC_CPU_USER_MODE_UTIL
Process User Mode
CPU
Size (in KB) of virtual memory allocated for the proces or
kernel thread.
PROC_MEM_VIRT
Process Virtual
Memory
The size (in KB) of resident memory allocated for the process
or kernel thread.
PROC_MEM_RES
Process Resident
Memory
