Hello,

I search a solution to monitor CPU activity of AIX 5.3 box, to generate
beautiful graph.

But if i use this snmp OID : 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.1 (hrProcessorLoad)
All cpu are only at 100% :-(

If i use this sar line un crontab :
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa1

The sar comande dont work fine :
[root@aix][/var/adm/sa]>sar

AIX aixfr88830001p01 3 5 00C9D96D4C00 02/10/05

System configuration: lcpu=8 ent=0.60

00:00:01 %usr %sys %wio %idle physc %entc

System configuration changed. The current iteration values may be
inaccurate.

sar: Error 0

have you somes ideas ?

I use sar to generate CPU use graphs well for many AIX51 and AIX52. No
AIX53 yet.
Also it looks like you use LPARs. Perhaps this issue can be resolved
with AIX support, and to apply a current ML or APAR.

Have you tried NMON Analyzer?

Hello Thomas,
You can use nmon from IBM :
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerwork...s/analyze_aix/

and nmon analyser to generate graphs :

Hoping to help you

Thomas,
Are you using Advanced Power Virtualization on a p5 w/AIX 5.3 ? If so,
sar is broken. You'll need to get an efix from IBM software support.
That's what happened to us. If NOT using virtualization on LPARs, then
sar works fine.

Cheers!
