Spotlight on SAP ASE 2.12

When you have isolated a problem, you can display a drilldown page, whose charts and tables provide a detailed breakdown of the underlying statistics.

Following are Spotlight drilldowns.

Drilldown	Keyboard Shortcut	Description
Processes and Services	CTRL+P	The pages in the Processes and Services drilldown list all the processes running on the Unix machine (including "zombie" processes), and all the services found in the /etc/services file (running or not). Useful features in this drilldown include: Processes Page: View processes in a standard table or tree structure. In the tree structure secondary processes are shown as "children" of the processes that run them. Click on a process for more detailed information on that process including CPU and Memory utilization. From the Memory Usage chart it is possible to detect memory leaks of the process over the display period. Zombies Page: View child processes whose termination has not been acknowledged by their parent process. Services Page: Use a shortcut menu option to test whether a specified service is available.
Activity Summary	CTRL+A	The pages in the Activity Summary drilldown — Activity Page Disk Page Memory Page CPU Page Network Page Logins Page — show details of the different types of activity on the Unix system.
Filesystems	CTRL+S	The Filesystems And Disk Information drilldown displays detailed information about the filesystems on the Unix machine. This information can be viewed in chart or table form: right click over the drilldown page.
Alarm Log	CTRL+L	The Alarm Log drilldown displays information on the alarms associated with the Unix machine.

Processes Page

The Processes page lists the processes currently running on the Unix system.

Note: The Processes page shows the output from the Unix ps command.

To open the Processes page

Select the Spotlight on Unix connection in the Spotlight Browser.
Click Processes | Processes.

For each process, you can view the information that follows:

Notes:

Some columns in the table are hidden by default. To view hidden columns, right-click a column heading and choose Organize Columns... from the shortcut menu.
Refer to man ps(1) for further details on the values shown in the Processes grid.
When the table is displayed as a flat grid (not a tree), right click any value in the table and select Show processes where... or Hide processes where... to filter the table by that value.

Column

Description

Process

The name of the process.

Notes:

Click on a process to display more information on that process. Process Details Page
Right click on the process and select Kill Process (if enabled) to end any processes currently running on the Unix machine.
Some of the processes may be running other, secondary, processes. Right click the grid and select Show as Tree to display the secondary processes as branches of the initial process.

Nice

The Nice value describes the relative priority of the specified process. A process with a low Nice value is running at a higher priority than a process with a high Nice value.

PID

The process identifier for the specified process.

PPID

The process identifier for the process that is the parent of the specified process.

% CPU

The percentage of CPU time used by the process in the last sample interval.

State

The state of the process. Process states are platform dependent.

Platform	Value	Description
AIX	A	Active
	W	Swapped
	I	Idle
HP-UX	W	Waiting
	I	Intermediate
	X	Growing
Linux	D	Uninterruptible Sleep
	W	Has no resident pages
	<	High priority process
	N	Low priority tasks
	L	Has pages locked into memory
Solaris	O	Process is running on a processor
	S	Sleeping. That is, the process is waiting for an event to complete.
	R	Runnable. That is, the process is on the run queue.
	Z	Zombie state. That is, the process has been terminated and the parent process is no longer waiting.
	T	The process has been stopped by a job control signal, or because it is being traced.

Terminal

The Unix terminal session where a user started the specified process. If the process was not started by an interactive user, the Terminal value is set to "?".

User

The name of the user to whom the process belongs.

Time

The amount of CPU time the process has consumed.

Virt Mem (MB)
