Interface Perfstat

All Superinterfaces:
com.sun.jna.Library

public interface Perfstat
extends com.sun.jna.Library
The perfstat API uses the perfstat kernel extension to extract various AIX® performance metrics. System component information is also retrieved from the Object Data Manager (ODM) and returned with the performance metrics. The perfstat API is thread–safe, and does not require root authority.

      static Perfstat getInstance()
    • perfstat_cpu_total

      int perfstat_cpu_total​(Perfstat.perfstat_id_t name, Perfstat.perfstat_cpu_total_t cpu, int sizeof_struct, int desired_number)
      Retrieves total processor usage metrics
      Parameters:
      name - Reserved for future use, must be NULL
      cpu - Populated with structure
      sizeof_struct - Should be set to sizeof(perfstat_cpu_total_t)
      desired_number - Reserved for future use, must be set to 0 or 1
      Returns:
      The return value is -1 in case of errors. Otherwise, the number of structures copied is returned. This is always 1.
    • perfstat_cpu

      int perfstat_cpu​(Perfstat.perfstat_id_t name, Perfstat.perfstat_cpu_t[] cpu, int sizeof_struct, int desired_number)
      Retrieves individual processor usage metrics
      Parameters:
      name - Structure containing empty string when collecting all cpu stats, or null to count CPUs
      cpu - Populated with structures, or null to count CPUs
      sizeof_struct - Should be set to sizeof(perfstat_cpu_t)
      desired_number - Set to 0 to count CPUs, set to number of cpus to return otherwise
      Returns:
      The return value is -1 in case of errors. Otherwise, the number of structures copied is returned.
