zLinux CPU monitoring

2015-09-30 Thread Mikael Wargh
Hello, This is probably an old already well digested topic, but is there any reliable way to monitor CPU usage on Linux level? Linux tools like TOP and SAR seems to show z/VM's cap as a maximum in their statistics eg. share is set to 4% per IFL --> 2xIFL is 8%. This is ok from providers point

There is a GSE conference for Linux, z/VM and z/VSE in Stuttgart Germany in 3 weeks. That same week, there is a performance class that will show how to get exactly what you want using zVPS "http://velocitysoftware.com/zvps.html;. If you care about performance of Linux under z/VM, you need the

I think I might have found a small bug in latest update for SLES12 so this is just a FYI for everyone who made the same mistake I did. If you use edevices, you know that the FBA driver in linux automagically (like Mark explained it to me few years ago ;) ) creates a device “1” (dasda1 for

This was good information, many thanks Tomas! As we're going more open with LinuxOne, KVM and probably more to come, I really think that at least the basic monitoring should have several options to choose from. In traditional x86 Linux world the performance monitoring sector is flooded by
