OVNPM 1.5.2 - Performance Agent for NonStop Server Monitoring Guide

ITERATION 0.94 Accum 1

BUSY 0.02 % Busy 0

PROCESSSTATES 0.14 Accum 0

PROCESSSTATES 0.15 Accum 1

To monitor those counters in OVNPM, we must locate and use:

The process name in red

The counter name in blue

The counter index

And the counter type to define the OVNPM “unit”.

So Meascom output becomes in USERCFG file:

userdef $vq0A.iteration.000.nb , TREND=ON

userdef $vq0A.iteration.001.nb , TREND=ON

userdef $vq0A.busy.000.% , TREND=ON

Notice that accum unit “nb” gives value of the counter. If you want the “number of increase per second” (like

Meascom display), you must use unit “nb/s”. In this case previous accum userdefs become:

userdef $vq0A.iteration.000.nb/s

userdef $vq0A.iteration.001.nb/s

NOTE:

.OVNPM doesn't initiate any measurement for USERDEF and BASE24DEF counters. OVNPM reads

only the result of the measurement started by another application (Meascom or the application itself).

OVNPM

keeps track of active measurement on the system. It searches if

their counter contains USERDEF / BASE24DEF

to be monitored

2-4-2 Discovery macros

Discovery macros discover applications components and add them in the configuration in named section.

Manual operations like delete for duplicated entries may be required. Pertinent component selection may also

require a manual operation.

All sv_discover_* commands add discovery results in the named section. When called, sv_discover_* searches

the named section in the USERCFG or APPCFG files. If the section exists, it is replaced with the new one.

Function and discovery parameters define a unique section name.

Keywords “-–{section <sectionName> discovery.” marks the beginning of the section.

keywords “--}section <sectionName> discovery.” marks the end of the section.

NOTE:

You can modify or delete the content of the named section. It is recommended that you do not modify

section marker lines.

For specific function help, enter the following command:

sv_discovery_<functName> -?

sv_prepare_cfg

This function makes a basic discovery of the hardware and system components. It does not work like other

discovery functions. Sv_prepare_cfg makes a backup of the USERCFG file and all the previous definitions are

deleted. Sv_prepare_cfg discovery is not enclosed in a section.
