Performance Monitors

[Zarathustra]

Anybody know of a good "cheap" or "free" performance monitor other than SAR?

You could try I/Watch from Quest Software. It can be used for monitoring Unix, NT and most main RDBs. support@quests.com<br>

I forgot to mention there are other tools (depending on flavour).<br>
As wll as sar you can use ps, pstat, iostat, and vmstat.

if you are looking strictly for Solaris try RICHse toolkit at<br>

http://www.sun.com/sun-on-net/performance/se3/,

<br>
it provides a gui interface to disk, cpu, network,nfs,...,etc <br>
and it's free.

Another free one you could try is "top".

Hi,<br>
<br>
You might wish to try the graphical version<br>
perfmeter. If you are running X-Windows:<br>
<br>
/usr/openwin/bin/perfmeter<br>
<br>
It is part of the default installation of<br>
Solaris 2.5.x - 2.7
