Understanding Operating System Performance and Capacity.

Optimizing your operating system (OS) environment can improve system performance and capacity by helping you to quickly identify areas of concern. The monitoring feature in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center provides extensive information about your monitored operating systems and zones. You can use the information to evaluate performance, identify potential issues, and perform tuning.

The OS monitoring and analytics features give you quick and easy access to historical and real-time performance, process, and status details. Analytics is available for Oracle Solaris, Linux, and for the different types of OS virtualization that we support, which includes Oracle Solaris Zones, Oracle VM Server for SPARC and Oracle VM Server for x86 guests.

The following are some of the details gathered on the performance and capacity of a specific operating system or zone:

• Real time network details
• Real time IO details
• Real time and historical process details
• Real time and historical memory details

Analytics is available for Oracle Solaris, Linux, Oracle Solaris Zones, Oracle VM Server for SPARC and Oracle VM Server for x86 guests. This example shows the following:

• Where to Find Analytics – Where to locate analytics information in the user interface.
• Operating System Performance and Capacity – View a history of the top consumers. From the top consumers, you can quickly assess the memory utilization of an operating system and drill down to the process level for detailed information and view a load metric.
• Oracle Solaris SMF Services – View the SMF status of an Oracle Solaris 11 operating system and quickly identify a critical issue.
• Virtualization Performance and Capacity – Monitor performance and capacity information for your Oracle Solaris zones. Drill down to the process level for detailed information.
