ViewSys Resource Monitor

ViewSys is a system resource monitor that displays processor performance statistics and

resource consumption for a set polling period. Viewing the resource allocations across

processors on a running system allows you to balance the application load more evenly.

ViewSys can help you decide when to move user processes to less busy processors and

disk files or when to relocate partitions to less busy disk volumes. It updates the

numbers automatically at the end of each polling period, which allows you to evaluate

the effects of changes as those changes are made.

ViewSys indicates the current allocation of a given resource and the percentage of that

resource used. Thus, possible resource contention problems can be detected before they

become serious. ViewSys displays resource usage in block mode and bar graph form and

allows you to select from a number of display screens.
