Memory topology object

There is a single Memory object attached to a host that is identified by that Host instance. The name property of a Memory object is set with the constant string Memory.

The amount of memory (megabyte) installed on or allocated to the host.

HP-UX

Linux®

Solaris®

Windows®

The amount of memory (megabyte) that is being used on the host.

AIX

Linux

Solaris

Windows

The amount of physical memory (Mb) used as a file system cache.

Linux1

Solaris2

The amount of memory (Mb) allocated by the kernel that cannot be paged out.

The amount of physical memory (Mb) used by the kernel for data that can be paged out.

none

The percentage of physical memory that is currently utilized.

AIX®

NetworkInterface topology object

A single network interface. Multiple network interfaces can be assigned to a single host object.

The bandwidth (bit/second) of the network interface (for example, 100Mb/s).

Windows®

The number of collisions (requiring packet resend) that occurred on the network interface. (count)

AIX

HP-UX4

This value is set to Active if the interface was recently discovered and/or verified to exist. The value is set to Inactive if the interface is considered obsolete.

AIX5

HP-UX

The number (count) of inbound packets that were dropped because of errors.

AIX

HP-UX

Linux

Solaris

Windows

The number of inbound packets that were dropped even though no error that would have prevented the packet from being received was detected. (count)

HP-UX6

Linux

This metric is not available on AIX systems using non-native collectors.


2

This metric is not available on HP-UX systems using non-native collectors.


3

This metric is reported by ethtool (or, if unavailable, by mii-tool). This metric is not available for loopback interfaces. It requires use of sudo for the agent to collect. (For more information about sudo commands that require root access, see Configuring secure launcher permissions using sudo.)

NixHostProcessInstance topology object

On UNIX®, instances of NixHostProcessInstance are used instead of HostProcessInstance. These topology objects extend HostProcessInstance with a few more details that can be captured on UNIX platforms.

Metric Description1

The full command line used to launch the executable.

The time the process instance was created. (date)

Linux

The full path to the executable.

Linux

The session id of the process.
