RPM Examples

Below are examples of RPM analysis and output.

Due to the number of RPM options, there are a great many output and configuration possibilities (just a couple appear below).

For more information on RPM, see the RPM white paper on the Documents page.

Example #1 - Zoom on VT100 from windows/linux

In Example #1 output below, Real-time Process Monitor (RPM) performs analysis and reporting
with the ZOOM command using VT100 device codes.  Advantages of the VT100 interface include:

1) RPMVT can run from a "vanilla" Telnet/SSH session
on Windows/Linux (no extra cost emulator required).

2) VT100 allows you to "super-size" screens so they
can include 100's of lines of filtered output, allowing
ultra-high-performance, instantaneous, sorted views
of 100's of Cpus and millions of processes in one screen.  

3) VT100 device control codes support known colors,
allows screens to have consistent alert color-encoding.

The ZOOM command provides synchronized reports for both Cpus and Busy Processes in
a continuously updating display.  In the example below utilization of all Cpus and Processes
in a 10-Cpu x 3-Node Expand network are displayed with the following color-encoded rules:

The first part of the report below shows that \SOLAR Cpu 3 is an average of 88% busy.  The second
part of the report shows that the two busiest processes on the node \SOLAR are $SPI2 at 59% busy
and $SPI1 at 30% busy which explains why \SOLAR Cpu 3 is so busy.

Example #2 - Busy Process on T6530

In Example #2 output below, Real-time Process Monitor (RPM) performs analysis and reporting on
the busiest processes in a 3 node Expand network.  Unlike the display above which used VT100, the
output below is formatted for T6530 devices (although logically similar, the I/O support is different).

The output below shows that \SOLAR Cpu 3 is extremely busy with two busy processes totaling 85% busy.
