Measure Reference Manual

LAUNCH-WAIT-TIME
Amount of time the process waits on requests to PROCESS_CREATE_ or the fork()/exec*() family
of process creation APIs.
Counter type: Busy.
LAUNCHES
Number of calls made by the process to process creation procedures. For Guardian process
creation, the counter includes unsuccessful creation attempts.
Counter type: Incrementing.
LOCKED-PAGES-END
(ZMS Style only) In Measure H06/J04 and later PVUs, the number of page frames associated with
the process that were locked in main memory at the end of the measurement interval.
This counter is valid and displayed by MEASCOM in ZMS style when the PROCESS subsystem
version (ZMSPROC.HDR.SUBSYSTEM-VERSION), supplied by NonStop OS, is four or greater;
otherwise the counter contains a zero value and is not displayed by MEASCOM.
Counter type: Snapshot.
LOCKED-PAGES-START
(ZMS Style only) In Measure H06/J04 and later PVUs, the number of page frames associated with
the process that were locked in main memory at the start of the measurement interval.
This counter is valid and displayed by MEASCOM in ZMS style when the PROCESS subsystem
version (ZMSPROC.HDR.SUBSYSTEM-VERSION), supplied by NonStop OS, is four or greater;
otherwise the counter contains a zero value and is not displayed by MEASCOM.
Counter type: Snapshot.
MEM-QTIME
Time that the measured process spent waiting on page faults. A page fault does not cause the
system to remove the process from the ready list.
PageDescriptionRelated Counter
305Counts the number of page faults generated by the measured
process
PROCESS PAGE-FAULTS
174Measures the time that all processes in a given processor spent
waiting on page faults
CPU MEM-QTIME
167Measures the time that all processes spent on the ready list,
including time spent waiting on page faults
CPU CPU-QTIME
Counter type: Queue.
MESSAGES-RECEIVED
Number of messages the process has read from its message input queue.
For user processes, the message input queue is $RECEIVE.
These operations do not advance this counter:
• Messages received by a process due to SIGNALTIMEOUT and SIGNALPROCESSTIMEOUT
• The sending process when LDONE queuing is in use
• Timeout notifications (TLEs)
Counter type: Incrementing.
