MONITOR PROCESS/TOPCPU recording
Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2021 5:40 am
Morning all,
We've got a production node that is experiencing some performance problems and I've used the MONITOR PROC/TOPCPU to see what processes are using the CPU etc. I then read in the help that I could record this using the /RECORD switch, however I'm not sure how to interrogate the data once I've finished monitoring.
It's created a file called MONITOR.DAT, about 2Mb, so how do I analyze/report on it? I tried the CONVERT command but that failed with:
XXXXXX (VMSxxx) $ MONITOR
MONITOR> CONVERT MON_CPU.DAT/OUTPUT=G.LOG
%MONITOR-E-ERRPARSE, error parsing command
%CLI-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling
\CONVERT\
MONITOR> help convert
CONVERT
The CONVERT command converts a pre-Version 5.0 MONITOR recording
file to the current format.
Format
CONVERT file-spec
Yet the CONVERT command is supposedly available....
Any comments/advice/caveats/pointers to documentation would be great!
Happy Friday.
