Install and use oswatch

 

1. Download and install

Oswatch is easy to install and use. Like nmon, it can be directly decompressed after download.

Oswatch collects information by calling system commands, such as PS, top, mpstat, iostat, netstat, and traceroute vmstat. Supported operating systems are Aix, Tru64, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux; of course there are also Windows Version
 
You can download OS watcher User Guide [ID 301137.1] At metlink.

Download the tar package and decompress it directly to check whether the execution permission is available. If not, grant the execution permission.

Oswatch is easy to use. It requires two parameters.

 

# Oswstart arg1 arg2
Arg1: data collection interval, in seconds
Arg2: how long the data is collected, in hours

 

For example, the following information is collected every 30 seconds.

[Root @ dhdb OSW] # oswstart 30 1
[Root @ dhdb OSW] #

Starting data collection...

OSW heartbeat: Sat Aug 6 18:01:31 CST 2011

If the collection starts for the first time, an archive sub-directory will be generated under the oswatch installation directory to store the collected information, such

[Root @ dhdb OSW] # ls./archive/
Oswiostat oswmeminfo oswmpstat oswnetstat oswprvtnet oswps oswslabinfo oswtop oswvmstat
[Root @ dhdb OSW] #

You can view the information after it is collected,

[Root @ dhdb OSW] # Java-jar oswg. jar-I./archive

That comes shipped with the Oracle database.

That is because the Oracle Java version is not used. Add the Oracle Java version to the root environment variable, as shown below:

So far, the installation and use of oswatch have been completed.

Comparison between oswatch and nmon
1. oswatch monitoring, collection, and viewing can all be completed on the server, while nmon needs to be uploaded to Windows for viewing.
2. According to my use, nmon displays more comprehensive information and looks more comfortable.
