Many thanks to:
anthony.miller_at_vf.vodafone.co.uk (who suggested using Exceed in a
windows environment and capturing the screen that way, or just cron'ing an
uptime >> filename at your favorite time interval)
and...
ravis_at_dpa.co.ae (who suggested using the scripts in
/var/opt/pm/SMscripts)
Unfortunately, neither of these really hit what I was looking for. It
appears that the answer is to dig out all the SNMP keys that I am interested
in, and probably use the singleton_achiver with a custom metrics file to do
the gathering. Then port it over to Excel for the pretty picture to give to
management.
Note to Compaq - increase the functionality of the Performance Manager,
please.
