Barton Robinson said: I've posted this in the past, the problem is not RMFPM, it is all linux under vm monitors.... Top is just as bad.
My standard explanation is posted at "http://linuxvm.com/topisbad.html"; Thanks for the URL. I understand about Linux assuming that it has the CPU all to itself. Your webpage suggests NET-SNMP. As I understand it, SNMP is a low-cost way of collecting the data that it has collected. Its performance numbers are no more valid that any other collection tool (except a tool like Velocity's which integrates Linux and VM data.) The SNMP daemon that comes with the system will also work, it is just that NET-SNMP is more complete. Yes? It seems to me that the best collection tool would not run in Linux at all. It would follow control-block chains in storage and get the data from /proc. Is this possible?
