expsmooth
NOTE As of WLM A.02.02, it is recommended that you use the cntl_smooth
WLM keyword instead of the expsmooth tool. For information on
cntl_smooth, see wlmconf(4).
expsmooth is a utility that smooths data (giving more importance to
more recent data), softening spikes in the data, for consumption by
WLM.
expsmooth uses /opt/perl/bin/perl.
For more information on setting up and using this utility, see
expsmooth(1M).
What about security issues?
Be aware of the following security issues so that you can better protect
your system.
Potential password visibility
Be sure to set the read permissions to limit access when your .props files
contain a username and password for an instance.
posix_sh_setup_file issues
The posix_sh_setup_file, used with wlmwlsdc, can potentially pose
security issues. For information on the issues, as well as several methods
for alleviating the issues, see section the white paper Using HP-UX
