Hi Ron We used this for all our LPAR based Linux images, if you are looking for a overview of what the system looks like it is great, you are looking for a display that tells you the system is slow or blocked etc you will need something else. RMFPM just reports the numbers you will have to decide from the numbers if there is a problem or not. The only major issue we had with it was the inability to set a threshold line with in the displays i.e. a line at 75% CPU so that when you looked at the screen you could see at a glance if there where any issues.

Hello, Last week my boss attended a presentation "Monitoring Linux Performance with RMF" Now he is wanting it installed and would like to evaluate it. Way back in the 2005 and 2006 time frame we looked at it. Primarily based on what we found on the internet, we discontinued it's use. I have done a little searching on the mailing list archives. I have not found very many good things to say about using RMF to monitor Linux. However, most of the threads mentioning this are a few years old. Does anyone have any comments about using RMF to monitor Linux? Is anyone using it? Anything we should look out for?
