Glance Tool usage to get CPU utilization on Server

-
Glance:
Glance is the best tool for checking memmory usage, as it provides the complete information.
The various tools report different numbers because they disagree about which regions to report as part of the size and how to count shared memory regions.

We can also obtain CPU Utilization and Disk Utilization as shown in the output.
$ glance --h
Usage: glance [-?|-h|-g|-A|-c|-m|-d|-i|-u|-w|-l|-t|-a|-N|-T|-H]
              [-j interval] [-nice nice_value] [-nosort] [-lock]
              [-p [dest_device]] [-f dest_file] [-maxpages num_pages]
              [-no_fkeys]
              [-advis[eo]r_off | -advis[eo]r_only] [-iterations count]
              [-bootup] [-syntax filename]
              [-aos filename]
              [-all_trans] [-all_instances]


Command: glance –j 60 –iterations 100 –maxpages 100

Press s and Enter PID.
Press p to Print the Result
Press c for continuous printing.
Press f to store to a file
Enter file name:
The results start printing.

How to extract the CPU Util from Glance output.

CPU Monitoring sample perl program

#open and parse file to get current CPU usage
open (INPUTFILE, "filename.gl") or die "can not open Input File:$!";
open (OUTFILE, ">cpu_app.txt") or die "can not open Output File:$!";

while ($line = <INPUTFILE>)
{
           
            # CPU  Util                                                     |  1%    1%    1%

            if ($line =~ /CPU  Util   .*?(\d+.*?)%\s+/)
            {
           $value = "$1";
           
           print OUTFILE "$value";
           print OUTFILE "\n";
        }

}
close(INPUTFILE);
close(OUTFILE);

print "\n DONE";

The same perl program can be modified to get Disk Util, Mem Util by changing the Regular Expression.

Memory Report can be obtained by pressing m after entering PID.

Steps to Analyze AWR Report in Oracle

Steps to Analyze AWR Report in Oracle AWR -   Automatic   workload repository is a collection of persistent   system performance   statistics   owned by SYS. It resides in SYSAUX   tablespace . By default snapshot are generated once every 60 min and maintained for 7 days . Each snapshot has a unique ID know as "snap_id". Snapshot detail can be found in " dba_hist_snapshot " view.   If we have Database performance issue and not the Database machine, then AWR Report is the place to look at. AWR is not used for real-time performance monitoring like the v$ tables. It is used for historical analysis of performance. AWR complements, but doesnot replace real-time monitoring. Once AWR Report is generated in Oracle, the next task is to analyze it. By going through the AWR Report we can easily solve issues like slow database, high wait events, slow query and many more issues. Even though the report is lengthy, Analyzing or Reading re...

Vmstat Output explained

-
vmstat : vmstat is a tool in Unix/Linux which is used to Report virtual memory statistics. It shows how much virtual memory there is, how much is free and paging activity. Most important, you can observe page-ins and page-outs as they happen.   vmstat   reports   information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, traps, and cpu activity.   > vmstat procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- -----cpu-----   r   b    swpd    free    buff   cache         si    so     bi     bo    in    cs us sy id wa st   0   0   21688 12797396 850716 15372668     0     0      3     35     0     0   1   0 99   0   0   0   0   21688 12789292 850716 15372668 ...

Verifications and Error Handling in LoadRunner *Web_reg_find and Web_reg_save_param*

-
Verification's and Error Handling Verification points must be inserted into the scripts to verify the application being tested with the load. Verification function that are used in our application are:  Web_reg_find, web_reg_save_param These verification should be outside towards the end of the transaction. Mandatory verification points: ■          Login – whenever there is a login, verification points must be added to verify that the user logged in correctly. ■          Update Transactions – transactions that update the database must be verified that they are successful. ■          Each page should be verified using Web_reg_find function Using Web _ reg_find for verifications. Example: web_reg_find("Text= Main Package","SaveCount=Verify_Count1",LAST); Verification: if (strcmp(lr_eval_string("{Verify_Count1}"),"0")==0) { ...
