Hi, The load metric on AIX was not working properly, so to make it work I modified gmond/machines/aix.c to use libperfstat of AIX. For the modifications to work the AIX must have "bos.perf.libperfstat" installed and link with "-lperfstat".
I used the following URLs to help me: http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/files/aixfiles/libperfstat.h.htm http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/libs/basetrf1/perfstat_cputot.htm The same stuff could be used to fixed the other metrics, for the moment I was only interested in the load. #### diff of gmond/machines/aix.c ########################################### 713,722c713,718 < #include <sys/proc.h> < #include <libperfstat.h> < perfstat_id_t *name; < perfstat_cpu_total_t *userbuff; < size_t sizeof_struct; < int desired_number; < name = NULL; < desired_number = 1; < sizeof_struct=sizeof(perfstat_cpu_total_t); < userbuff=(perfstat_cpu_total_t *)malloc(sizeof_struct); --- > static int initted=0; > int avenrun[3]; > static struct nlist knames[] = { > {"avenrun", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, > {NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0} > }; 724c720 < perfstat_cpu_total (name, userbuff, sizeof_struct, desired_number); --- > static int no_avenrun_here = 0; 726,728c722,738 < loadv[0] = (double)((userbuff->loadavg)[0])*1.0/( 1 << SBITS ); < loadv[1] = (double)((userbuff->loadavg)[1])*1.0/( 1 << SBITS ); < loadv[2] = (double)((userbuff->loadavg)[2])*1.0/( 1 << SBITS ); --- > if (no_avenrun_here) > return -1; > > if (!initted) { > initted = 1; > if (knlist(knames, 1, sizeof(struct nlist)) == -1){ > no_avenrun_here = 1; > return -1; > } > } > getkmemdata(&avenrun, sizeof(avenrun), (caddr_t) knames->n_value); > if (nelem > 0) > loadv[0] = avenrun[0] / 65536.0; > if (nelem > 1) > loadv[1] = avenrun[1] / 65536.0; > if (nelem > 2) > loadv[2] = avenrun[2] / 65536.0; -- Richard Lefebvre, Sys-admin, RQCHP, (514)343-6111 x5313 "Don't Panic" Richard.Lefebvre(@AROBAS)rqchp.qc.ca -- THGTTG
