SUMMARY: CPU utilization

2007-12-25 1:48:00

Thanks to all that replied. My original message is below. Some url's that were recommended:

http://www.setoolkit.com
http://www.sarcheck.com
http://www.orcaware.com/orca
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/prstat.html

The tools that are NOT recomended:
perfmeter
top
psrinfo

The tools that are recommended and the number of recommendations:
prstat - 9
vmstat - 6
sar - 6
mpstat - 2
iostat - 2
uptime - 1
ps - 1
cpustat - 1
busstat - 1

Some general comments:
1. mpstat is accurate, it is core solaris, uses kernel interface (kstats driver)
2. CPU actually has a 100% load at all times. If user and kernel threads to do not add up to 100% CPU utilization, the "idle" thread takes up the free CPU cycles.
3. vmstat uses the same kstats driver as mpstat

Thanks again,
Greg

Anybody know how accurate the tools are that measure CPU utilization on Solaris 8. The ones I know of are perfmeter, mpstat, psrinfo, and top. Also, are there any other tools to measure the CPU utilization.

Thanks,
Greg
