HP Caliper 5.3 User Guide (5900-1558, February 2011)

Example

If you specify:

$ caliper fprof --process-cutoff ,80,0 -w

The contents of the Process Summary section is a list of processes containing:

• The processes that account for 80 percent of the total IP samples of all the processes running

in the system.

• Only those processes that each account for more than two percent of total samples. Because

percent_cutoff was not specified, HP Caliper used the default value, 2 percent.

--read-init-file

--read-init-file True|False

Determines whether HP Caliper reads the .caliperinit initialization file at startup. Set to False

to ignore the .caliperinit file. Default value is True.

For more information, see “Specifying Option Values with a .caliperinit Initialization File” (p. 91).

--report

Used only with the caliper info command. See “How to Display Reference Information About

CPU Counters or HP Caliper Report Types” (p. 101).

--report-details

See “-r or --report-details” (p. 51).

--rule-files

Used only with the caliper advise command. See “Command Line to Invoke the Advisor”

(p. 78).

--sampling-spec

See “-s or --sampling-spec” (p. 52).

--scope

process|system|pset=pset_id[:pset_id:...][,attr-mod|attr-proc|attr-none]

Specifies the scope of what HP Caliper measures. HP Caliper can measure activity on individual

processes (process scope, or per-process measurement) or on all CPUs in the system (system

scope, or system-wide measurement), or on HP-UX systems, on the specified processor sets (psets).

The default is --scope process.

process The subject of measurements is processes, specifically the

threads of execution that make up those processes.

With --scope process, the default privilege level is

user, but you can change this with the

--event-defaults option.

system The subject of measurements is user and kernel activity on

all CPUs in the system, at any privilege level you choose.

(You can specify the privilege level as user, kernel, or
