Default A perfromance measurement tool for AIX

hi gurus !
I'm looking for a system/process performance measurement tool, similar
to glance on HP-UX.
I need a tool that i can run in a script, non-interactively (similar
to "glance -adviser_only " option on HP-UX).
I have never seen AIX before ;-(
Would you please advise for such a tool (just the tool name and where
can i get some info regarding it). Thanks a lot in advance.
Andre.

IBM have a thing called Performance Tool Kit for AIX, similar to HP's
Glance.

The performance tool kit agent should be bundled on your installation
CD's.

Filesets of interest:
bos.perf
perfagent.tools

A MeasureWare / Glance client is availabe for AIX, too.
It requires DCE, and works flawless.
I didn't install it myself and can't find the filesets right now, maybe just
contact HP in case You want to run it on AIX.

Regards,
Florian

Indeed,

Glance/Measureware is available for a number of non HP systems.
I have used Measureware on both Solaris and AIX. Part of a project we
started on HP-UX to collect performance stats and generate graphs for
display on our intranet. Decided to use Measureware on AIX and Solaris
to be consistent with what we had done on HP-UX. Worked well.

I thought it was avail but I didnt get to look, the nice thing is that
you can use the same parm files on all of your arch's and get
"consistent" results across all of them, for the most part.
