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.
Features
- Preconfigured Monitoring: Each module ships pre-configured with the performance counters tailored to your system.
- Threshold Alerts: NeoLoad provides threshold values –derived from industry best practices- to raise the appropriate alerts.
- Agentless Monitoring: The design of our monitoring modules, based on industry standards, ensures non-intrusive remote monitoring.
- Real Time: The counter values and the threshold alerts are available as soon as the test is run.
- Import: Import data from external monitoring tools.
Note: All the modules are included with the free edition.
Performance 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.
Monitors for the disk section are available per peripheral device. A device picker is included in NeoLoad:
- 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.
