Thanks. Cacti is an improved version also takes feeds and charts OpenNMS seems to be equivalent to Nagios which I have installed and am happy with. Nagios was a bit difficult to implement but the Perl-based architechture made it easier to trouble-shoot. __

Interesting. So it seems that if you want to track CPU and memory performance you have to do it at the aggregate VM level. That makes it difficult to size the guests. How does one know how much resource to give to a guest. I do understand that if the guest is under-performing then you give it some

Re: Performance Monitoring for Linux

2004-06-17 Thread Rich Smrcina
Sizing is actually pretty easy. What Barton is getting at is that when Linux reports performance numbers, it does so on the assumption that it owns the hardware. When running under VM (or LPAR), it doesn't so you need something that understands VM's influence and can adjust the numbers that

You mentioned that you added the device before extending your volume, but did you take any steps to ensure that the new dasd is found when the machine boots? I use the 'echo add device range=113e /proc/dasd/device' command to assign another unit to my system Normally you would add the new

That was it. I was really doing two steps. First, I was adding a new disk to the Linux system, which I failed to do properly. And two, I was extending an existing LVM managed filesystems which worked fine. I kind of feel like I asked tech support for help and the came by and plugged in my
