Then for procs you may need to present that data is 'ps -ef' format:

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         1     0  0 Oct18 ?        00:00:01 init [5]
root         2     1  0 Oct18 ?        00:00:00 [ksoftirqd/0]
root         3     1  0 Oct18 ?        00:00:00 [events/0]
root         4     1  0 Oct18 ?        00:00:00 [khelper]
root         9     1  0 Oct18 ?        00:00:00 [kthread]
root        19     9  0 Oct18 ?        00:00:08 [kacpid]
root       116     9  0 Oct18 ?        00:00:00 [kblockd/0]
root       156     9  0 Oct18 ?        00:00:00 [pdflush]

Some of the data here doesn't really apply to z/VM, but it should be possible to come up with some sort of value for each column.  UID and CMD would probably be the same thing, PID can be a counter, PPID would be 1, STIME would be the logon date or time, TTY is not relevant and TIME would be the CPUTime.

Actually I do provide data to the PROCS test but I would like to provide it in a more 'STANDARD' format so that we don't have different columns for essentially the same data. What I would really like is to have the user count and proc count plotted properly, so I need to find the 'STANDARD' test parsing.

Subject: Re: [hobbit] format for CPU data?


There is a native backend for z/VM, it was integrated into Hobbit some time ago.  It appears that Thomas wants to consolidate the CPU, Users and Procs into one column.  I took a different approach, that since there was already a procs column reported by other clients, that the information that translated best to procs on z/VM was reported there.

The concept of users and procs is somewhat blurred on z/VM, so I didn't differentiate the two.  Some shops (it appears that his is one of them) have a clear demarkation of who a user is, based on their userid.

Not at all.

Here I have something like 5 or 6 Unix flavors, all are 
reporting under
the same cpu/disk/procs/whatever.
From the osname reported by the client, hobbitd can hand 
the data to the
appropriate backend (it even has different backends for a few Linux
flavor, such as RHEL3 or Debian). The idea it to put 
together a native
backend for your OS.

Kern, Thomas a écrit :
But then you get a column for VM-CPU, a column for 
MVS-CPU, a column for
W2K-CPU, a column for WinXP-CPU, a column for Solaris-CPU 
(not really a
linux), a column for AIX-CPU (another not really a linux) 
and finally a
column for CPU (for the real linux systems). Now repeat 
that for DISK,
MSGS, PROCS, FILES, MEMORY, PORTS, BACKUP, etc. 
You need a very WIDE screen when management wants it ALL 
on one page.
