Creating the Configuration
An entity specification describes a particular resource within an entity type. For
example, the specification for a CPU entity is a CPU number (0, 1, 2, and so on). The
specification for a DISC entity is a disk name ($DATA, $INFO, $BUYER, and so on).
The specification for a CLUSTER entity is a system name or a system name and CPU
number. You can measure specific resources or all resources of a particular type.
For entity specifications for each type of resource, see the Measure Reference Manual.
Creating the Configuration
To create a measurement configuration, use the ADD entity-type command to
specify the entities to be measured. For example, to build a configuration to measure
all CPUs, processes, and disks on a system plus all disk opens on $MYVOL:
4+ ADD CPU *
5+ ADD PROCESS *
6+ ADD DISC *
7+ ADD DISCOPEN $MYVOL.*.*
To exclude specific entities from a group of entities to be measured, use the DELETE
entity-type command. For example, to exclude CPU 0 from the measurement
configuration:
8+ DELETE CPU 0
Also use the DELETE entity-type command to delete an ADD command from an
existing configuration. For example, to delete the ADD DISC * command:
9+ DELETE DISC *
To view the entities specified in a configuration, use the INFO entity-type
command. For example:
10+ INFO DISCOPEN
Add Discopen $MYVOL.*.*
11+ INFO CPU
Add Cpu *
Delete Cpu 0
To reinclude an entity in a configuration, use the ADD entity-type command. For
example, to reinclude CPU 0 in the previously defined configuration:
12+ ADD CPU 0
13+ INFO CPU
Add CPU *
If you exit MEASCOM before starting the measurement, the configuration is not saved.
TERMINAL Measures terminal and subdevice I/O.
TMF Measures TMF transactions.
USERDEF Measures activity in a user process that has been instrumented to
maintain user-defined counters.
