onperf Tool (UNIX)

The database server includes a graphical monitoring tool called onperf. This tool can monitor most of the metrics that onstat provides. It provides the following advantages over onstat:

• It displays the values of the metrics graphically in real time.
• It lets you choose which metrics to monitor.
• It saves recent-history metrics data to a buffer in memory. This data is available if you want to analyze a recent trend.
• It can save performance data to a file.
