aix and nmon

UNIX AIX
1

Hi All,

First of all, I am a DBA and not an AIX admin. I am new at using this NMON tool.

In interactive mode, I can start nmon, push 't' to have the list of process with their statistic (ie cpu% etc.).

I would like to know if there is a way to redirect that screen output into a log file?

So far, I tried the following:

 root$ nmon -F /tmp/test_nmon.log -t
 root$ nmon -F /tmp/test_nmon.log2 -T

In both of my file, I have LOTS of informatino (LPar, VMStat, Disk, etc etc) but not the list of process.

What I am doing wrong?

Thank you,
Nayas~

I guess you are missing some parameters. There is a ton of things you can monitor with it and there are also some additional tools to you can use to create a web site output with the graphs etc. on it out of the box for free. Check out the official home page:
