Hello Unix gurus,

I am trying to setup a nmon to upload the graphs into a webserver. I did see some pages but all of them are referring to rrdtool. I just couldnt get it working as it is asking for a lot of dependent libraries. Anyone has any idea or ways to get it working

Thanks in advance

Hi Rajesh,

I would recommend to use RRDtool for anything related to monitoring for the simple fact of flexibility you can get and the finite space requirement. I have done some work some time back using rrdtool and in this particular case I used RRDtool passvively, and not directly from the AIX lpars (have a look at how rrdtool can be used using inetd).

I wrote the following article couple of years back http://wiki.babytux.org/wiki/doku.php?id=article-rrdtool ,and that was quite fun.

But lately I used lpar2rrd, which is amazingly simple to setup, as long as you have a spare LPAR with apache with perl support. But I have tried lpar2rrd on a Intel Linux box which was working perfectly.

Word of caution: you might need to uprgrade your HMC to 7.3.4+ if you want to use lpar2rrd. Earlier versions of HMCs does not handle clearing the perf details very well... so eventually your HMC will hang.

HTH,

Hi,

Looks like the source(http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpar2rrd/files/) for lpar2rrd-2.64.tar is corrupted, do we have any other source to download the tool?
