If you're filling up a 90 cyl disk in one hour, you are probably collecting
a lot more types of monitor data than you need. I started with MONWRITE
also with Perf Toolkit but then found that somehow, automagically, PERFSVM
collects enough of it's own to fill in the blanks.
If I remember correctly, VMPRF, in one of it's reports, would give you a
summary of what you had been collecting and how much of each type of record
it collected. I remember, 10 years ago or so, turning on MONITOR seeks
collection for 5 minutes in the busy part of the morning and afternoon and
figured that I had gotten a representative sample of seeks activity. The
Perf Toolkit manual isn't as helpful as it might be in many regards.
