Barton, I am confused by several of your comments.  Would you please
clarify?

Trivial with ESALPS?
 - Ok, I believe you.

Cannot afford to run something on Linux?
 - How does ESALPS gather the Linux process-level data outside of
running an agent/application ON Linux?

The data that Linux logged would be wrong?
 - I assume you are referring to the inaccuracies of the "tick based CPU
time accounting"?
   - I had the understanding that RHEL5 and SLES10 resolved this issue
with the new "virtual CPU time accounting"?
 - The memory, disk, #page faults, etc. are still accurate. Correct?

Thanks,
Kevin

this is trivial with ESALPS from Velocity Software. And you can not
afford to run something on Linux that logs this information. And the
data that Linux logged would be wrong anyway. You need something that
combines the linux and z/vm data. Which none of what you have does.
