Entities
Table 3-2. Measure-Derived Entities
Measure Entity TPDC Entity Entity Description
CLUSTER CLUSTER Fiber Optic Extension (FOX) ring measurement counters
and linkages. The CLUSTER entity contains information
about the number of FOX (fiber optic link) messages
sent and received by all processes on the measured
system.
CONTROLLER CONTRL Controller counters and linkages (Dxx).
CPU CPU CPU measurement counters and linkages. The CPU
entity contains information about all devices on the
measured system except disks, communication lines,
and terminals.
DEVICE DEVICE Device encounters and linkages. The DEVICE entity
contains information about all devices on the measured
system except disks, communication lines, and
terminals.
DISC Four entities: The DISC entity contains information about one or more
disks on the measured system.
CACHE Cache counters and linkages
DISC Disk counters and linkages
LDISC Logical DISK counters and linkages
PDISC Physical DISK counters and linkages
DISCOPEN DISCOPEN DISCOPEN counters and linkages. The DISCOPEN
entity contains information about which programs are
accessing which files, including program usage and
process activity (logical file access).
DISKFILE DISKFILE DISKFILE summary counters and linkages (Dxx).
FILE FILE FILE counters and linkages. The FILE entity contains
information about which user processes are accessing
which files, including program usage and process
activity (logical file access).
LINE LINE LINE counters and linkages. The LINE entity contains
information about one or more communications lines.
NETLINE NETLINE NETLINE counters and linkages. The NETLINE entity
contains information about network communication lines.
OPDISK OPDISK OPDISK counters and linkages. The OPDISK entity
contains information about one or more optical disk
systems on the measured disk system.
OSSCPU OSSCPU OSSCPU counters and linkages. The OSSCPU entity
provides information about the HP NonStop Kernel
Open System Services (OSS) elements that operate in
each processor of a system.
