Auto Collect Data Information

This version of Tru64 UNIX performance translator is completely decoupled from the underlying collect data files. Translator automatically indexes all collect files and presents them as a single data source to APT console.

Both APT graph and analysis features are now able to use pieces of an entire collect period, including using data from more than one collect file. In graphs, it is possible to zoom and pan seamlessly across the entire set of collect data. If any time period is missing in collected data, it will be reflected by a straight line connecting adjacent points on the graph.

Installation

Gunzip and tar xf your downloaded distribution file. Change permissions to your local APT user, for example (assuming user apt and group perf):

chown –R apt:perf /usr/local/APT

Grant the apt user execute permission on /usr/sbin/collect or alternate collect location. Grant read and execute on collect data files and their directory, usually /var/adm/collect.dated

Enabling Data Collection

Tru64 UNIX APT Translator relies on collect to gather performance data. Collect is distributed standard with Tru64 UNIX 5.x, and is not enabled by default. To enable collect, as root:

· Run the following commands (see man collect for more info)

rcmgr set COLLECT_AUTORUN 1

rcmgr set COLLECT_ARGS "-i300,600 -f /var/adm/collect.dated/collect -H m1@00:01,4m -W 1h"

/sbin/init.d/collect start

When adding Tru64 5.1 Auto translator in APT console, specify /var/adm/collect.dated as “Directory of data files”

Run “man collect” or get more info at www.unix-wissen.de/collect
