Hi: I'd like to bring the data perfkit is collecting in it's histlog into a linux database so I can slice and dice it for long term trending and capacity planning. Has anyone done anything similar to this? If so, how did you manage this and what tools did you use? If it's useful to know what I've tried so far, my first attempt was to link perfkit's 191 disk to my linux service machine read only, run a linux job to periodically copy the histlog file(s) into linux with the cmsfs tools after they were rolled over (we keep several, using some perfkit customizations). However I'm not sure how to parse the binary data in linux. The performance toolkit reference documents the record layout (appendix D, pg 733), but what, exactly, is an "E" format number? Chapter 9 of the "Principles of Operation" manual doesn't easily give up it's secrets. :-) As an alternative solution, I'm now looking at the CSVGEN package from vm.ibm.com/related/perfkit. Has anyone used this? Thanks muchly! - -- Pat -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkk/8KgACgkQNObCqA8uBsw3qgCeOj3gPHNgQ5eansn81LA4E6x1 D78Ani0BY7FS6NLJktt+Ru/PMbpwe+4s =FR/O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
