Monitoring PRM with
OpenView Performance Agent (OVPA) /
OpenView Performance Manager (OVPM)
You can treat your PRM groups as applications and then track their
application metrics in OpenView Performance Agent for UNIX as well as
in OpenView Performance Manager for UNIX.
NOTE NOTE: If you complete the procedure below, OVPA/OVPM will track
application metrics only for your PRM groups; applications defined in the
parm file will no longer be tracked. GlancePlus, however, will still track
metrics for both PRM groups and applications defined in your parm file.
To track application metrics for your PRM groups:
1. Edit /var/opt/perf/parm
Edit your /var/opt/perf/parm file so that the “log” line includes
“application=prm” (without the quotes). For example:
log global application=prm process dev=disk,lvm transaction
2. Restart the agent
With PRM running, execute the following command:
% mwa restart scope
Now all the application metrics will be in terms of PRM groups. That is,
your PRM groups will be “applications” for the purposes of tracking
metrics.
NOTE The PRM groups must be enabled at the time the scopeux collector is
restarted by the mwa restart scope command. If PRM is not running,
data for some—or all—PRM groups may be absent from OpenView
graphs and reports. Also, it may affect alarms defined in
/var/opt/perf/alarmdefs.
