Hello David,
Thanks very much, Sergio Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:37:14 -0500 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Report CPU utilization under Z/VM To: [email protected] We wrote a sample EXEC here, with the Help of this list (of course), that gove a CP IND commands from time to time (each 5 minutes), and then write this data on a CMS file. This process run very well, because We can see the CPU utilization from all times of the day (Online , and Batch at midnigth). But, We also have here, the VM Performance Tools, and now, the boss here, ask, if is not possible get a report from this Product, and if this is better. Perfkit is a lot more sophisticated, and it certainly supports far more statistics than just CPU usage. It also uses a more system-friendly means of collecting the data (via the system monitor services). So, We are putting this question here for apreciate by gurus VM, and , see what is the better. If someone understand that VM Performance Tools is the better, have a way for us extract data from there? All Perfkit-collected performance data is written to files, which are available in daily, weekly and monthly summary form in CMS files maintained by the PERFSVM virtual machine. The record layout is documented in the Perfkit manual. If you have 3270-graphics compatible terminals (or GDDM) you can produce very nice graphs and reports without writing any code at all. It also has a WWW interface that’s pretty nice. I would suggest using Perfkit. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better than do-it-yourself methods, and somebody else supports it. It is also SFS friendly, so you can access the SFS directory while it’s running, and do your custom reporting if you can’t get Perfkit to do what you want.
