Introduce
Nmon (Nigel’s Monitor) By IBM Provide 、 Free monitoring AIX System and Linux Tools for system resources . This tool can collect the resource consumption of server system and output a specific file , And available excel Analysis tools （nmon analyser） Statistical analysis of data .
download
Search for downloads nmon, Upload to the server and unzip . I'll use an older version to show you . After decompressing, there is nmon16e_x86_rhel65, and nmon analyser v34a.xls.
- nmon16e_x86_rhel65 In front of it is the executable file , At the end of execution, a monitoring file will be generated , Monitor the server hardware indicators of file record collection , Suffix is .nmon.
- nmon analyser v34a.xls Used to turn this monitoring file into readable Excel form , With chart .
Use steps
The server processes
start-up nmon The command is as follows , Automatically run in the background after startup
./nmon16e_x86_rhel65 -f -s 10 -c 999999999 -m ./If the first execution fails Permission Denied, perform
chmod +x nmon16e_x86_rhel65 that will do .Parameter interpretation ：
- -s 10 Every time 10 Data is collected every second .
- -c 999999999 collection 999999999 Secondary hardware data , It means to collect for a long time
- -f The generated data file name contains the time the file was created .
- -m The storage directory of the generated data file is the current directory .
[root@localhost nmontest]# ./nmon16e_x86_rhel65 -f -s 10 -c 999999999 -m ./

take nmon The files are transferred to the local computer （ASCII Format transfer ）, use nmon analyser v34a.xls Transformation format . If there is a macro related warning , Press “ Tools -> macro -> Security -> Choose low security ” that will do . 
Pop up the window many times , Ask if you want to replace the existing x86 Definition , Click it all . 
preservation xls File format . open xls file . The label name below represents the hardware indicators monitored by the tag , 
Here are the metrics for monitoring network and memory usage . 
summary
nmon It can collect hardware information for a long time , If the collection interval is large, the impact on server performance can be ignored . It is suitable for collecting for a period of time , For example, collecting for a few days , Then summarize the analysis scenarios . Through the analysis of hardware resource occupation change reason , There will be a lot of new discoveries , So that we have a better grasp of the system . But not for real-time monitoring .
