NimonMeasureAndStats

The nimon_list_stats ksh shell script documents the Measures and Statistics within them for a particular njmon/nimon capture.

Note: Here we use nimon data output to create the measures and stats details but the Measures and Statistics from njmon are EXACTLY the same.

# nimon_list_stats

Using the script nimon_list_stats by Example

Run:

  • nimon -s 1 -c 1 -f

Or run

  • njmon -I -s 1 -c 1 -f (that is a capital -I which switches njmon into nimon mode).

Assuming this created a file in the local directory: blue_20230802_0900.influxdb

Then use: nimon_list_stats blue_20230802_0900.influxdb >nimon_list_stats.txt

Sample Output Files of nimon_list_stats

Small server example files:

AIX example but cut down to save space

From my small AIX virtual machine = 4 CPUs, two disks, 1 network, with processes - there was 1900 stats but edited down.
Output includes the nimon output file name.
