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.
