nmon
nmon is short for Nigel's Performance Monitor. It
is a systems administrator, tuner, benchmark tool.
It can display the CPU, memory, network, disks (mini graphs or
numbers),
file systems, NFS, top processes, resources (Linux version &
processors) and
on Power micro-partition information.
Data is displayed on the screen and updated once every two
seconds, using a
dumb screen. However, you can easily change this interval to a longer
or
shorter time period.
The nmon tool can also capture the same data to a text file
for later analysis
and graphing for reports. The output is in a spreadsheet format (.csv).
