HP Capacity Advisor 7.2 User Guide

capprofile (4)
NAME
capprofile -- Format of Capacity Advisor import and export files.
DESCRIPTION
Defines the file format used when importing and exporting data for Capacity Advisor.
The data for the specified profile is imported and exported as a series of lines containing the
following:
• profile headers, including date and metric labels
• utilization values
The collection period is five minutes. The collection occurs at the end of the five-minute period.
Each data line is called a sample.
The first nine lines of the import file are format headers that define the profile characteristics. This
information is used to normalize the utilization data when it is saved in the Capacity Advisor
database. The last line gives the date and time format and the list of metrics to be included.
The format header is:
#Profile: name
#Host: hostname
#CPU: CPU_count@CPU_speedGHz
#Memory: MEM_sizeMB
#OS: platform
#Model: model
#ProcessorString: processor_string
#ProcessorFamily: processor_family
#Version: version_number
[YYYYMMDDhhmm,] UTIS, metric [, metric, ...]
The English characters shown above always appear in the field names and units specified in the
header, even when the locale causes messages to display in a different language.
The fields of the profile header format are the following:
name: Name of the profile.
hostname: Fully-qualified name of the system. For example, node05.company.com.
CPU_count: Number of CPUs for which data is gathered in the file. For example, 1 means data
was gathered for one CPU. Only integer values are valid. Note that CPU_count includes iCAP
processors that are not enabled. This reflects the number of cores when dual-core processors are
in use. The number of hardware threads when hyperthreaded processors are in use are NOT
counted in CPU_count.
CPU_speed: Speed in GHz (gigahertz); all CPUs are assumed to have the same speed.
MEM_size: Memory size in MB (megabytes).
platform: Name of operating system, HP-UX or Linux.
model: The string representing the model of hostname as output by the model command.
processor_string: A complete identification of the processor that includes the maker, the
name of the processor, the processor speed, and specific details about the processor model.
processor_family: The maker and name of the processor.
version_number: Capacity Advisor version number.
The last header line contains the comma-separated list of labels for the date and gathered metrics.
