Hi,

I am interested in using nmon in AIX. Is it possible to automate the nmon so that it automatically generate daily performance reports on all my 50 or so AIX servers every day? Is it easy to use nmon to generate monthly reports for all these 50 servers? Do you know of any people or shops doing it already?

Thanks, leungg

i'm doing that kind of setup. each of my lpars (about 30 so far)
has a daily cronjob that fires nmon and collects data every 5 minutes.

then another server, where Nmon graphs are generated, has cronjob
running a script to:

1. scp for the remote nmon outputfiles at an hourly basis
2. delete the current day nmon graphs
3. generate graphs from the scp'd output files

the nmon script i'm using is also updating a long term report that
can show the last 4 weeks of utilization for each lpar.

you can get a lot of info from this site:

the later releses of nmon and nmon2web scripts have a different
approach but i haven't tried them out yet.

Thank you very much for the information and the site. I guess you summarize the data at the point you update your long term report?

Thanks again, Galen
