I’ve got something odd going on…I have one AIX 5.3 system for which the
CPU Utilization (vmstat) graph is blank from 9AM to 5PM, only on weekdays.
None of my other AIX systems (5.3 or 6.1) are displaying the same behavior.
Odd. Is the blank section EXACTLY (within 5 minutes) between 9am and 5pm,
or just approximate?
Are you getting updates for your client data? Check out the [vmstat]
section both inside and outside of the 9-5 range, and see if they look
different.
Perhaps during business hours, there is a process that runs, or a general
increase in load, that increases the numbers in the vmstat output, such
that the columns are no longer aligned the same. I know that there is at
least one Xymon client data parser that fail if the columns aren't aligned
as expected (procs, perhaps).
