NMON Recording
NMON comes with recording filters that help you customize the NMON recording. You can select and deselect the following sections of the NMON recording:
- JFS
- RAW kernel and LPAR
- volume group
- paging space
- MEMPAGES
- NFS
- WLM
- Large Page
- Shared Ethernet (for VIOS) Process
- Large Page and Asynchronous
Note: Disks per line, disk group file, and desired disks are applicable options only if the disk configuration section is included in the recording. The process filter and process threshold options are applicable only if the processes list is included in the recording.
Process and Disk filters will be automatically loaded with the filter options used for the last recording by the same user. You can specify that the external command be invoked at the start or end of the NMON recording in an External data collector start or end program. If you want the external command to be invoked periodically to record metrics, it can be specified at the External data collector snap program. The nmon command provides more details on using external commands for a NMON recording.
