Are there any free tools available for monitoring hardware/system performance form an OS/2 platform?

Hi Phil_mo,

not sure what you mean exactly.

There are benchmark tools as well as resource (ram, disk,...) "monitors" and so on... with the majority freely available at hobbes I guess.

But, what is it that you want to do?
- Compare statistics of 2 or more machines?
- Real-time tracking of system resources?

And is it about doing this on the same machine that you install the tool or do you want some kind of "remote" monitoring?

Cheers,
Thomas

If it is other performance metrics you are interested in (network, TCPIP, disk access, CPU, etc) those can be done via REXX and some of the various extension DLLs out there (RXU, Pyrxutil, etc). The information they deliver can be accessed via REXX, OREXX, VX-REXX, Dr Dialog, etc - or even by C/C++ if you know what you are doing.

There are also various monitoring apps such as SmartMon that useful.

If you mean hardware predictive failure analysis and such, there's Netfinity Manager and it's replacement - but dont bother with that unless you have an IBM Server (or an IBM Intellistation workstation that matches a particular Netfinity Server).

SysInfo/2 v0.8.26
http://www.os2site.com/sw/util/monitor/sysinfo0826.zip

An easy explanation is copied.
SysInfo/2 v0.8.26, shows various system and benchmark information including CPU, memory, storage, motherboard, multimedia, network etc information. Replaces sysinfo0825.zip. Requires OS/2 v4 or higher. From Yuri Prokushev.

SmartBar is pretty-est and one of best realtime monitors:
http://www.os2world.com/os2place/smartbar/indexe.html

One of the best, but not freeware like SmartBar.

I am very happy with both (SmartBar and SysInfo2), but have run into a few machines that do not like either - hence I found the REXX tools.

Aaaa, this is chipset related... I've never found any software under OS/2 that support mine BXmaster mobo, in way of getting info from temperature sensors. Other that that should work ?

No idea which chipset it is but (advertising on :-) you can try xmbmon from hobbes or -http://web.utanet.at/abuchin1/english/os2_software/index.html.

For supported chips and boards reported to work, take look at the readme files or maybe here -

We need to compare stats between machines; in particular, disk and memory access times.

We are going to try out Sysbench in the first instance.

Thanks to all for the responses thus far.

Rgds,

Phil.

Yes, sysbench is the right tool for that. But don't do other things with the machine while it runs the tests.
