  • 1.  Performance of perfstat_process function on AIX 7.1

    Posted 10/28/21 10:05 AM

    Hi

    We are using following example code https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=interfaces-perfstat-process-util-interface to get process metrics.

    It turned out that this code works as expected on AIX 7.2 TL 4, but on AIX 7.1 the code make significan time to complete (for example around 13 seconds, if there is 1000 processes) .

    The most of the time is spent in perfstat_process function.

    I suspect that this behavior is related to issue https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IV80138 , which was fixed in AIX 7.2 , but not in AIX 7.1

    1. Do you know, if this perfstat_process performance issue is caused by IV80138 ?
    2. Is there any workaround for this issue in 7.1?
    Thanks,

    Robert

    Hi Robert,

    This post needs to go to AIX Forum.
