HP-UX Monitoring

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).

  • Disk. The disk section monitors are available per device.

    • Kilobytes transferred per second. The number of kilobytes transferred per second.

    • Seeks per second. The number of seeks per second.

    • Millisecond per average seek. The number of milliseconds per average seek.
