Process Summary (PD_PDS)

Function

The Process Summary (PD_PDS) record stores the performance data in which the data stored in the Process Detail (PD) record is summarized as a state at a given point in time.

The information for this record is collected from the process table information for the past minute. Additionally, the number of processes in which changes occurred in the values listed below during the collection interval is counted as active processes.

In AIX
CPU usage time, number of page faults, number of context switches, and process size

In HP-UX
CPU usage time, number of page faults, and process size

In Solaris
CPU usage time, number of page faults, number of context switches, number of system calls, number of I/O operations, and process size

In Linux
CPU usage time, number of page faults, process size, and current directory

Even when the Process Detail (PD) record is not collected, performance data is stored in the Process Summary (PD_PDS) record.

Fields

PFM-View name
(PFM-Manager name) Description Summary Format Delta Not Supported versions Data source

Active System Processes(NUMBER_OF_ACTIVE_SYSTEM_PROCESSES) Number of active system processes. In the first real-time report, 0 is displayed. -- ulong No AIX,
Linux --

Active User Processes(NUMBER_OF_ACTIVE_USER_PROCESSES) Number of active user processes. In the first real-time report, 0 is displayed.
In AIX, this field shows the combined total number of active system processes and active user processes. -- ulong No -- --

Active Users(NUMBER_OF_ACTIVE_USERS) Number of users who are executing the processes that are counted as active system or user processes. In the first real-time report, 0 is displayed. -- ulong No -- --

Daemon Processes(NUMBER_OF_DAEMON_PROCESSES) Number of daemon processes -- ulong No -- --

Interval(INTERVAL) Interval at which the Process Summary (PD_PDS) record was stored. Always 0. -- ulong No HP-UX,
Solaris,
AIX,
Linux --

Mem Processes(NUMBER_OF_MEMORY_PROCESSES) Number of memory management processes. In Linux, the number of processes having process name as "kswapd0" are counted. -- ulong No -- --

New Processes(NUMBER_OF_NEW_PROCESSES) Number of processes started. Because the difference from the previous process information is computed, 0 is displayed in the first real-time report. -- ulong No -- Present TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES - Previous TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES

Processes(TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES) Number of processes within the system -- ulong No -- --

Record Time(RECORD_TIME) Time at which the record was created (Greenwich Mean Time) -- time_t No -- --

Record Type(INPUT_RECORD_TYPE) Record type. Always PDS. -- char(8) No -- --

Sleeping Processes(NUMBER_OF_SLEEPING_PROCESSES) Number of processes that are sleeping -- ulong No -- --

Stopped Processes(NUMBER_OF_STOPPED_PROCESSES) Number of processes that are stopped -- ulong No -- --

Swapped Processes(NUMBER_OF_SWAPPED_PROCESSES) Number of processes that have been swapped out. The number of processes that are not inside the core is determined from the process table. -- ulong No Solaris 10 --

Terminals(NUMBER_OF_ACTIVE_TERMINALS) Number of TTYs that are executing the processes that are counted as active system or user processes. In the first real-time report, 0 is displayed. -- ulong No -- --

Terminated Processes(NUMBER_OF_DIED_PROCESSES) Number of terminated processes. Because the difference from the previous process information is computed, 0 is displayed in the first real-time report. -- ulong No -- Previous TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES - Present TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES
