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.

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

DescriptionSmryFormatDeltaNot sprtd inData source
Active System Processes(NUMBER_OF_ACTIVE_SYSTEM_PROCESSES)Number of active system processes. In the first real-time report, 0 is displayed.--ulongNoAIX,

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.

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.--ulongNo----
Daemon Processes(NUMBER_OF_DAEMON_PROCESSES)Number of daemon processes--ulongNo----
Interval(INTERVAL)Interval at which the Process Summary (PD_PDS) record was stored. Always 0.--ulongNoHP-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.--ulongNo----
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.--ulongNo--Present TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES - Previous TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES
Processes(TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES)Number of processes within the system--ulongNo----
Record Time(RECORD_TIME)Time at which the record was created (Greenwich Mean Time)--time_tNo----
Record Type(INPUT_RECORD_TYPE)Record type. Always PDS.--char(8)No----

Stopped Processes(NUMBER_OF_STOPPED_PROCESSES)Number of processes that are stopped--ulongNo----
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.--ulongNoSolaris 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.--ulongNo----
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.--ulongNo--Previous TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES - Present TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES
