Performance is too general high level term, can you specify what exactly you need to monitor ? On the other hand, a tool similar to the above ones is "sar" - system activity report, part of "sysstat" package.

Thanks for your advice.

No specific requirement for the time being. Just found it on Internet googling. Neither I have deep knowledge on this package. Before starting injecting effort on it I expect to know whether there are better alternatives avoiding spending time and effort on secondary tool.

Whether you meant;
Sysstat - Free Software Directory - Free Software Foundation

TIA

yes, this is one of the many pages for sysstat, this will fully substitute nmon tool, which, as far as I know, is available only for AIX. What is your flavor of UNIX ?

OpenBSD for server

I don't see port for sysstat, but the binaries inside should be pre-installed on OpenBSD, according to some articles on the net.
