XorMon

How XorMon monitors it

✓XorMon lists IBM i systems as IBM i (AS400): AS400 monitoring means monitoring IBM i systems.
✓A C-language OS agent runs on each IBM i partition, collects CPU, jobs, memory pools, ASP storage, disk and LAN data every minute and sends it to the XorMon server.
✓XorMon graphs CPU usage, the top jobs by CPU and IO, disks, jobs and threads, memory pools with their faults and pages, ASP capacity and performance, LAN traffic and multipath status.
✓Most graphs match a native IBM i command: WRKACTJOB for job CPU % and IO, WRKSYSSTS for jobs, pool size, faults and pages, WRKDSKSTS for ASP throughput and IO/sec, and DSPASPBRM for ASP capacity.
