Seriously look at FCONX/ESA, the world's least well known IBM product AFAIK. It can take the input from the RMF PM Linux agents directly and display it in useful ways, as well as providing VM data as well.

If you have RTM, you can do something like this in a window to view your VM performance (works well until you get a lot of instances, where a more robust monitor would be needed): /* REXX EXEC TO LOOP THE VMC COMMAND */ DO FOREVER VMC VMRTM DISPLAY USER SLEEP 15 SEC CLRSCRN VMC VMRTM DISPLAY SLEEP 15 SEC CLRSCRN VMC VMRTM DISPLAY LOG SLEEP 15 SEC CLRSCRN END
