Operational Metrics
|
|
|
| I am trying to setup some basic operational metrics for my Unix boxes.
Intent is to automate them thru scripts and have them run at regular
intervals. The target audience would be the infrastructure teams,
management etc. and this data will be used to check the system health
as such, efficiency of our processes, future projections, making h/w
decisions based on usage etc.
The ones that I was thinking about are:
1. Disk space usage (make use of df -k)
2. I/o stat using iostat
3. Process stats using prstat
4. Memory stats using vmstat
5. System loads using uptime
After looking at the commands by them selves I was'nt sure of how to
consolidate the outputs and make them more readable.
Any pointers as to what all can be collected using the above. Also on
how can I make it more readable into layman terms.
TIA
-Ben
