Entity Types and Specifications

The measurement configuration describes each resource to be measured in terms of

its entity type and entity specification.

This list describes each entity type:

CLUSTER Measures the number of FOX messages sent and received by all

processes on the local server. Currently supported only in D-series

PVUs.

CONTROLLER Measures I/O activity on disk, tape, terminal, and other device controllers

on NonStop K-series servers.

CPU Measures one or more CPUs on the local server.

DEVICE In D-series RVUs, measures all devices on the local server except disks,

communication lines, subdevices, and asynchronous terminals. In

G-series RVUs, measures tape devices.

DISC Measures one or more disks on the local server.

DISCOPEN Measures the I/O operations performed by the disk process on a

specified file (physical file access). Reports measurements separately for

each opener process.

DISKFILE Measures the I/O operations performed by the disk process on a

specified file (physical file access). Reports measurements collectively for

the whole file.

FILE Measures the I/O operations performed by a user process on an explicitly

opened file (logical file access).

LINE Measures communication lines.

NETLINE Measures network communication lines.

OPDISK Measures optical disks on the local server. Currently supported only in

D-series PVUs.

OSSCPU OSS elements in each system processor.

OSSNS OSS Name Server processes.

PROCESS Measures system and user processes.

PROCESSH Measures how often a program executes specified code ranges.

SERVERNET Measures I/O activity on ServerNet addressable controllers (NonStop

S-series servers only). Measures interprocessor communication (IPC).

For HP NonStop ServerNet Cluster (Measure G08 and later), measures

remote interprocessor communication (RIPC).

SQLPROC Measures SQL/MP processes.

SQLSTMT Measures statements within an SQL/MP process.

SYSTEM Measures network traffic through Expand line handlers.
