Описание (Description)

pmview is a generalized 3D performance metrics visualization tool for the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP(1)).

pmview is the base utility behind performance metrics visualization tools such as dkvis(1), mpvis(1), osvis(1) and nfsvis(1), It is also used by a range of related tools that are specific to optional Performance Domain Agents (PMDA) and/or PCP add-on products. pmview may also be used to construct customized 3D performance displays.

pmview displays performance metrics as colored blocks and cylinders arranged on monochrome base planes. Each object may represent a single performance metric, or a stack of several performance metrics. Since the objects are modulated by the value of the metric they represent, only numerical metrics may be visualized. Objects representing a single metric may be modulated in terms of height, color, or height and color. Objects in a stack may only be height modulated, but the stack can be normalized to the maximum height. Labels may be added to the scene to help identify groups of metrics.

A configuration file (as specified by the -c option, or read from standard input) is used to specify the position, color, maximum value and labels of metrics and metric instances in the scene. The maximum value acts as a normalization factor and is used to scale the object height and/or color in proportion to the metric values. Metric values which exceed the associated maximum value are displayed as solid white objects. If a metric is unavailable, the object will have minimum height and will be colored grey.

Normally, the tool operates in ``live'' mode where performance metrics are fetched in real-time. The user can view metrics from any host running pmcd(1). pmview can also replay archives of performance metrics (see pmlogger(1)) and allow the user to interactively control the current replay time and rate using the VCR paradigm. This is particularly useful for retrospective comparisons and for post-mortem analysis of performance problems where a remote system is not accessible or a performance analyst is not available on-site.

All metrics in the Performance Metrics Name Space (PMNS) with numeric value semantics from any number of hosts or archives may be visualized. pmview examines the semantics of the metrics and where sensible, converts metric values to a rate before scaling.
