The processor extension works for both AIX and Linux on the Power ppc64/ppc64le architecture.

Metrics reported are:

  • mode - Processor mode, Capped or Uncapped
  • type - Processor type, Shared or Dedicated
  • lcpu - Number of logical CPU's available for this partition
  • ent - Processor entitlements available for this partition
  • user - Indicates the percentage of the entitled processing capacity used while executing at the user level (application).
  • sys - Indicates the percentage of the entitled processing capacity used while executing at the system level (kernel).
  • idle - Indicates the percentage of the entitled processing capacity unused while the partition was idle and did not have any outstanding disk I/O request.
  • wait - Indicates the percentage of the entitled processing capacity unused while the partition was idle and had outstanding disk I/O request(s).
  • physc - Indicates the number of physical processors consumed.
  • entc - Indicates the percentage of the entitled capacity consumed.
  • lbusy - Indicates the percentage of logical processor(s) utilization that occurred while executing at the user and system level.

Memory Extension

Metrics reported are:

  • total - Total amount of memory (in KB).
  • used - real memory consumption (in KB).
  • free - free memory for use (in KB).
  • pin - pinned memory consumption (in KB).
  • virtual - virtual memory consumption (in KB).
  • available - available memory (if freeing up virtual) (in KB).
  • paged - paging space consumption (in KB).

Pinning a memory region prohibits the pager from stealing pages from the pages backing the pinned memory region.

  • device - Name of device.
  • reads - The total number of KB read.
  • writes - The total number of KB written.
