The statistics that the agent returns are for the entire system.
Metric | ExplanationDescription |
---|---|
Free Memory | The amount of physical memory available to the operating system, system library files, and applications. |
Cache Hit Rate | How often the system accesses the CPU cache. |
Page-outs/s | The rate at which pages were written to disk. |
Page-ins/s | The rate at which pages were read from or written to the disk. |
Page Frees/s | The number of pages that are freed from memory each second. |
Attaches/s | The number of pages that get attached to memory each second. |
Page-out Reqests/s | The number of requests to perform a write operation that occur each second. |
Page-in reqs/s | The number of requests to perform a read operation that occur each second. |
PageScans/s | The number of pages that are scanned each second. |
PageFaults/s | The number of page faults that occur each second. |
Software Locks/s | The number of software locks that are issued each second. |

Disk
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor agent uses the following commands to collect disk metrics from a Tru64 system:
collect -i1 -R7s -sd
...
sar -d -f
(free swap)
The agent collects volume capacity statistics from each filesystem, while the disk statistics (%busy, Read/Write/s) are returned for each disk.
Metric | ExplanationDescription |
---|---|
Disk (Spindle) Name | The names of each disk on the system. |
Usage (% Busy) | The percentage of time during which the disk drive is handling read or write requests. |
Blocks per second | The number of read and write operations on the disk that occur each second. |
Transfers/s | The average number of bytes that have been transferred to or from the disk during write or read operations. |
Average Queued Requests | The number of threads that are waiting for processor time. |
Average Service Time | The average amount of time, in milliseconds, that is required for a request to be carried out. |
Average Wait Time | The average time, in milliseconds, that a transaction is waiting in a queue. The wait time is directly proportional to the length of the queue. |
Network
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor UIM agent uses the following commands to collect network metrics from a Tru64 system:
ifconfig
netstat -I
(free swap)
Except for TCP retransmits, the agent averages all statistics per interface.
Metric | ExplanationDescription |
---|---|
Receive Rate | The rate, in kilobytes per seconds, at which data is received over a specific network adapter. |
Send Rate | The rate, in kilobytes per seconds, at which data is sent over a specific network adapter. |
Packets Inbound Errors | The number of inbound packets that contained errors, which preventing those packets from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. |
Packets Outbound Errors | The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors. |
Collisions | The number of signals from two separate nodes on the network that have collided. |
TCP Retransmits | The number of packets that have been re-sent over a network interface. |
...
Process
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor UIM agent uses the following commands to collect process metrics from a Tru64 system:
vmstat
(blocked, running, and waiting processes)
...
ps
By default, the agent only gathers the top 20 processes, and sorts them by the highest CPU usage.
Metric | ExplanationDescription |
---|---|
Number of Processes | The number of processes that are currently running on a system. |
Process Creation Rate | This metric determines whether or not there are runaway processes on a system or if a forking-based process (like a Web server) is spawning too many processes over a specified period of time. |
Processes Running | The number of processes that are currently running. |
Processes Blocked | The number of processes that are currently being blocked from running. |
Processes Waiting | The number of processes that are currently waiting to run. |
Workload - User | The demand that network and local services are putting on the system, based on the IDs of the users who are logged into a system. |
Workload - Group | The demand that network and local services are putting on the system, based on the IDs of the user groups that are logged into a system. |
Workload - Process Name | The demand that network and local services are putting on a system, based on the processes that are running. |
Workload Top 10 - User | The 10 network and local services that are are putting the most load on the system, based on the IDs of the users who are logged into a system. |
Workload Top 10 - Group | The 10 network and local services that are are putting the most load on the system, based on the IDs of the user groups who are logged into a system. |
Workload Top 10 - Process Name | The 10 network and local services that are are putting the most load on the system, based on the processes that are running. |
...
User
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor UIM agent uses the following commands to collect user statistics from a Tru64 system:
ps -eo
...
last
(login history for the last 10 users on the system)
Metric | ExplanationDescription |
---|---|
Login History | The number of times or frequency at which a user has logged into a system during any 30 minute time interval. |
Sessions | The number of sessions or number of distinct users who are logged into a system during any 30 minute time interval. |
