HP-UX monitoring
The HP-UX monitoring module allows NeoLoad to retrieve system information from HP-UX platforms during a load test, using either the Telnet or SSH protocol to connect to your servers.
The HP-UX module has been validated on HP-UX 11.
The counters
NeoLoad opens a session on the server and uses system commands to retrieve the performance counters.
The available counters are divided into 3 categories:
-
System
-
CPU User. User time for normal and low priority processes. Breakdown of percentage usage of CPU time.
-
CPU System. System time. Breakdown of percentage usage of CPU time.
-
CPU Idle. CPU idle. Breakdown of percentage usage of CPU time.
-
Interruptions Count. Device interrupts per second (nonclock).
-
Context Switch Count. CPU context switch rate (switches/sec).
-
Processes Runnable. The numbers of processes in run queue.
-
Processes Sleeping. The numbers of processes blocked for resources (I/O, paging, etc.).
-
Processes Swapped. The numbers of processes runnable or short sleeper (< 20 secs) but swapped.
-
Memory
-
Active virtual pages.
-
Free List Size. Size of the free list.
-
Pages Reclaims Per Second. Report information about page faults: page reclaims per second. (average each five second).
-
Address translation faults. Report information about page faults: Address translation faults per second. (average each five second).
-
Processes swapped in. Processes swapped in per second. (average each five second).
-
Processes swapped out. Processes swapped out per second. (average each five second).
-
Pages paged in. Pages paged in per second. (average each five second).
-
Pages pages out. Pages paged out per second. (average each five second).
-
Pages freed per second. Pages freed per second. (average each five second).
-
Anticipated short term memory shortfall. Anticipated short term memory shortfall. (average each five second).
-
Pages scanned by clock algorithm. Pages scanned by clock algorithm per second. (average each five second).
