Applications Manager monitors the performance of IBM
AIX Systems. First, Applications Manager discovers each
AIX machine and then monitors the CPU activity, complete
memory utilization, and local and remote system statistics.
The
AIX Management feature optimizes AIX system performance, delivers
comprehensive management reports and ensures availability
through automated event detection and correction. Applications
Manager also monitors processes running in the AIX system.
Some of the components that are monitored in IBM AIX are:
CPU Utilization
Monitor CPU usage - check
if CPUs are running at full capacity or are they being
underutilized.
Memory Utilization
Avoid the problem of your
windows system running out of memory. Get notified when
the memory usage is high (or memory is dangerously low).
Disk I/O Stats
specifies read/writes per
second, transfers per second, for each device.
Disk Utilization
Maintain a margin of available
disk space. Get notified when the disk space falls below
the margin. You can also run your own programs/scripts
to clear disk clutter when thresholds are crossed.
Process Monitoring
Monitor critical processes
running in your system. Get notified when a particular
process fails.
IBM AIX Monitoring Capabilities
Out-of-the-box management of IBM AIX availability and
performance.
Monitors performance statistics such as CPU utilization,
memory utilization, disk utilization, Disk I/O Stats and
response time.
Mode of monitoring includes Telnet and SSH.
Monitors processes running in AIX systems.
Based on the thresholds configured, notifications and
alerts are generated if the AIX system or any specified
attribute within the system has problems. Actions are executed
automatically based on configurations.
Performance graphs and reports are available instantly.
Reports can be grouped and displayed based on availability,
health, and connection time.
Delivers both historical and current AIX performance metrics,
delivering insight into the performance over a period of
time.
Monitors memory usage and detects top consumers of memory.
Last week in a call we had a customer who was impressed with our J2EE Web Transaction Monitoring capability (Java Method Level stats). Seeing that, he quizzed me on whether we have any software that has the capability to generate load for testing 1000 virtual Users.Well, I was happy to say, Yes ! You can take a look at our Product : QEngine : Web Application Testing Product. It can help simulate over 1000 Virtual User Loads with lots of cool configurations that help you simulate real time user browsing behavior too. ..... read full blog
