Perfview Information

Performance monitoring with Perfview is achieved by using a mix of MeasureWareAgent (MWA) and Perfview.

The following daemons are run:

Perfomance tool processes

• midaemon - measurement interface daemon

  Perfview

• pvalarmd - MeasureWare alarm manager daemon

• pvalarmd3 - PVAgent 3.0 alarm manager daemon

• pvnotifyd3 - as above...

• pv - perfview user interface

  MeasureWare

• scopeux - MWA data collector

• alarmgen - alarm generator

• agdbserver - alarm database server

• perflbd - location broker

• ttd - transaction device daemon

• rep_server - repository server

The daemons running can be checked with perfstat or, for just the measureware elements, mwa status

Perfview elements can be stopped and started using pvalarmd.start or pvalarmd.stop

The MeasureWare elements can be started and stopped using mwa start or mwa stop. Note: this doesn't stop ttd daemon. To stop this enter ttd -k .

Executing pv under CDE/VUE will start the Perfview GUI.
