MONITOR DECNET
The MONITOR DECNET command initiates monitoring of the DECNET class,
which includes information about DECnet for OpenVMS network activity.
Format
MONITOR DECNET
Command Qualifiers
/qualifier[,...]
One or more qualifiers as described in the Command Qualifier
Descriptions section.
Classname Qualifiers
/ALL
Specifies that a table of all available statistics (current, average,
minimum, and maximum) is to be included in the display and summary
output. For summary output, this qualifier is the default for all
classes; otherwise, it is the default for all classes except CLUSTER,
MODES, PROCESSES, STATES, SYSTEM, and VECTOR.
/AVERAGE
Specifies that a bar graph of average statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs.
/CURRENT
Specifies that a bar graph of current statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs. The /CURRENT qualifier is the default
for the CLUSTER, MODES, STATES, SYSTEM, and VECTOR classes.
/MAXIMUM
Specifies that a bar graph of maximum statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs.
/MINIMUM
Specifies that a bar graph of minimum statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs.
Description
The DECNET class consists of the following data items:
Data Item |
Description |
Arriving Local Packet Rate
|
Rate at which local packets are being received.
|
Departing Local Packet Rate
|
Rate at which local packets are being sent.
|
Arriving Transit Packet Rate
|
Rate at which transit packets are arriving.
|
Transit Congestion Loss Rate
|
Rate of transit congestion loss.
|
Receiver Buffer Failure Rate
|
Rate of receiver buffer failures.
|

This example shows that arriving and departing network packet rates
(including control packets) are roughly equivalent, and that network
activity is currently at a level higher than the average since
monitoring began, but not at its highest point.
MONITOR DISK
The MONITOR DISK command initiates monitoring of the DISK statistics
class. The maximum number of disks that can be monitored for record
output is 909, and for display and summary output is 1817.
Format
MONITOR DISK
Command Qualifiers
/qualifier[,...]
One or more qualifiers as described in the Command Qualifier
Descriptions section.
Classname Qualifiers
/ALL
Specifies that a table of all available statistics (current, average,
minimum, and maximum) is to be included in the display and summary
output. For summary output, this qualifier is the default for all
classes; otherwise, it is the default for all classes except CLUSTER,
MODES, PROCESSES, STATES, SYSTEM, and VECTOR.
/AVERAGE
Specifies that a bar graph of average statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs.
/CURRENT
Specifies that a bar graph of current statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs. The /CURRENT qualifier is the default
for the CLUSTER, MODES, STATES, SYSTEM, and VECTOR classes.
/ITEM=(keyword[,...])
Selects one or more data items for inclusion in display and summary
outputs. If you specify two or more keywords, enclose them in
parentheses, and separate them with commas. When the /ITEM qualifier is
omitted, the default is /ITEM=OPERATION_RATE.
The following table describes /ITEM qualifier keywords:
Keyword |
Description |
ALL
|
Specifies that statistics on all data items collected for the disks are
displayed on successive screens.
|
OPERATION_RATE
|
Specifies that I/O operation rate statistics are displayed for each
disk.
|
QUEUE_LENGTH
|
Specifies that the number of I/O request packets being serviced
(current or waiting) is displayed for each disk.
|
/MAXIMUM
Specifies that a bar graph of maximum statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs.
/MINIMUM
Specifies that a bar graph of minimum statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs.
/PERCENT
/NOPERCENT (default)
Controls whether statistics are expressed as percent values in display
and summary outputs. The /PERCENT qualifier is applicable only to the
DISK, MODES, SCS, and STATES classes.
Description
The DISK class is a component class. Data items for this class are
collected for each mounted disk device in a single-node or cluster
system. The DISK class consists of the following data items:
Data Item |
Description |
I/O Operation Rate
|
Rate at which I/O operations occur on each disk. By comparing operation
rates for all disks in the system, you can tell which disks are busy
and which are idle. However, because this statistic does not provide
information about the time required for individual operations, use
discretion in interpreting it.
|
I/O Request Queue Length
|
Number of outstanding I/O request packets. Includes the request
currently being serviced and those awaiting service. Note that, for
greater precision, this item is always sampled at a 1-second interval,
regardless of the value specified with the /INTERVAL command qualifier.
The maximum number of disks that can be monitored is 909 for record
output and 1817 for display or summary output. In previous versions,
the limit was 799 disks for both types of output.
|
In the following example, typical of a cluster environment, note that
each disk is identified by three elements:
- Disk name ending in a colon.
- Name of the cluster node through which the disk is accessed. This
field appears only in the multiple-statistic display; it is not
included in single-statistic displays or multifile summaries.
- Volume label.
In cluster configurations, the MSCP server software makes locally
attached and HSC disks available to other nodes. A node uses
remote access to a disk when it accesses the disk through
another VAX node (using the MSCP server). A node uses direct
access to a disk when it directly accesses a locally attached or HSC
disk.
An "R" following the device name indicates that the displayed
statistics represent I/O operations requested by nodes using remote
access.
If an "R" does not appear after the device name, the
displayed statistics represent I/O operations issued by nodes with
direct access. These I/O operations might include those issued by the
MSCP server on behalf of remote requests.

|
|
This example, typical of a cluster environment, shows the number of I/O
packets awaiting service or in service for each disk. Note that the
device SAMPLE$DRA2 is the only device with a nonzero queue length.
Because MONITOR samples queue lengths every second, regardless of the
collection interval value, the precision of the data does not depend on
the collection interval.
MONITOR DLOCK
The MONITOR DLOCK command initiates monitoring of the DLOCK
(distributed lock management) statistics class.
Format
MONITOR DLOCK
Command Qualifiers
/qualifier[,...]
One or more qualifiers as described in the Command Qualifier
Descriptions section.

Specifies that a table of all available statistics (current, average,
minimum, and maximum) is to be included in the display and summary
output. For summary output, this qualifier is the default for all
classes; otherwise, it is the default for all classes except CLUSTER,
MODES, PROCESSES, STATES, SYSTEM, and VECTOR.
/AVERAGE
Specifies that a bar graph of average statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs.
/CURRENT
Specifies that a bar graph of current statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs. The /CURRENT qualifier is the default
for the CLUSTER, MODES, STATES, SYSTEM, and VECTOR classes.
/MAXIMUM

the display and summary outputs.
/MINIMUM
Specifies that a bar graph of minimum statistics is to be included in
the display and summary outputs.
