Glance Adviser Metric
Name
Average number of threads waiting in the run queue over the
interval.
GBL_RUN_QUEUERun Queue Average
Total private virtual memory (in MBs unless otherwise
specified) at the end of the interval. This is the sum of the
GBL_MEM_VIRTGlobal Private Virtual
Memory
virtual allocation of private data and stack regions for all
processes.
Percentage of physical memory in use during the interval.
This includes system memory (occupied by the kernel), buffer
GBL_MEM_UTILPhysical Memory
Utilization
cache and user memory. On HP-UX 11iv3 and above, this
includes file cache also.
Total number of page outs to the disk per second during the
interval. This reflects paging activity between memory and
GBL_MEM_PAGEOUT_RATEGlobal Pageout Rate
paging space. It does not include activity between memory
and file systems.
Average number of page outs to the disk per second over
the cumulative collection time. This includes pages paged out
to paging space and to the file system.
GBL_MEM_PAGEOUT_RATE_CUMGlobal Cumulative
Pageout Rate
Percentage of buffer cache reads resolved from the buffer
cache (rather than going to disk) during the interval. Buffer
GBL_MEM_CACHE_HIT_PCTGlobal Buffer Cache Hit
cache reads can occur as a result of a logical read (for
example, file read system call), a read generated by a client,
a read-ahead on behalf of a logical read, or a system
procedure.
Number of physical IOs per second during the interval. Only
local disks are counted in this measurement. NFS devices are
GBL_DISK_PHYS_IO_RATEGlobal Disk IO Rate
excluded. All types of physical disk IOs are counted, including
file system IO, virtual memory IO, and raw IO.
Number of successful packets per second received through
all network interfaces during the interval. Successful packets
GBL_NET_IN_PACKET_RATEGlobal Net Inbound
Packet Rate
are those that have been processed without errors or
collisions.
Number of inbound errors per second on all network
interfaces during the interval.
GBL_NET_IN_ERROR_RATEGlobal Net Inbound Error
Rate
Number of successful packets per second sent through the
network interfaces during the interval. Successful packets are
those that have been processed without errors or collisions.
GBL_NET_OUT_PACKET_RATEGlobal Net Outbound
Packet Rate
Number of outbound errors per second on all network
interfaces during the interval.
GBL_NET_OUT_ERROR_RATEGlobal Net Outbound
Error Rate
Total CPU time consumed by a process or kernel thread as
a percentage of the total CPU time available during the
interval.
PROC_CPU_TOTAL_UTILProcess CPU
Percentage of time that the CPU was in system mode in the
context of the process or kernel thread during the interval.
PROC_CPU_SYS_MODE_UTILProcess System Mode
CPU
Percentage of time the process or kernel thread was using
the CPU in user mode during the interval.
PROC_CPU_USER_MODE_UTILProcess User Mode CPU
Size (in KB) of virtual memory allocated for the proces or
kernel thread.
PROC_MEM_VIRTProcess Virtual Memory
The size (in KB) of resident memory allocated for the process
or kernel thread.
PROC_MEM_RESProcess Resident Memory
