I need performance monitoring tools in Solaris. I tried the stat tool (i.e. iostat) and sar. However, none of these tools can display their results in a graph. I know that Windows has Performance Monitor, which records and displays results in a graph. What tools do you guys use to display results from sar or the stat tools in a graph?

Check to see if your system has perfmeter installed - our is in /usr/openwin/bin/xview/perfmeter. Then man perfmeter will tell you all the options. Here's my stripped down script (probably won't travel well thru this web interface - email me if interested in some options): #!/bin/ksh colors="-bg black -fg green2" #colors="-bg DarkSlateGray -fg SlateGray2" winsize="-geometry 630x90+470-27" # lower center perf_opts="$perf_opts -g" # -g = start perfmeter with graphs #perf_opts="$perf_opts -S" # -S = solid, filled graphs perf_opts="$perf_opts -L" # -L = line graphs #perf_opts="$perf_opts -V" # -V = Vertical orientation perf_opts="$perf_opts -H" # -H = Horizontal orientation perf_opts="$perf_opts -t load -t cpu -t disk -t pkts" # list of graphs to display perf_opts="$perf_opts -t intr -t cntxt" # list of graphs to display perfmeter $perf_opts -title ' Perf Mtr Graphs' $colors $winsize & Simplify as much as possible, but no simpler.

is there a tool that displays sar data on a windows based system? Rgds Ali
