HostProcessInstance topology object

The HostProcessInstance complex observation captures detailed per-process statistics, but that observation may not be produced at all times.

The rate at which instances of the process transfer bytes in I/O operations that are neither read nor write operations (for example, control operations).

AIX®1

Windows®

The rate at which instances of the process read data in I/O operations to file, network, etc.

Linux®

Solaris®2

Windows

The rate at which instances of the process write data in I/O operations to file, network, etc.

Linux

Solaris3

Windows

The rate of I/O operations (other than read/write operations) performed by instances of this process.

Windows

The rate of read I/O operations performed by instances of the process. (count/second)

This metric is available only on AIX systems using native collectors. The value represents the sum of bytes read and written by the process.

Some data necessary to calculate these metrics require 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.) These values and the information derived from them, such as the Top 5 Processes by Disk I/O, cannot be considered fully accurate, because the Solaris kernel does not always update these metrics when the disk I/O is done on behalf of a process. As a result, these metrics should be treated as indications of the general amount of disk I/O that is done, rather than hard numbers.
