-i time-interval-for-collecting-performance-information

Specify, in seconds, the time interval for which performance information is to be collected. Collection of performance information will start when the utility is executed and continue for the specified time interval. The collected information is then displayed. If you omit this parameter, the default value will be used.

  • Default value: 300 (5 minutes)

  • Minimum value: 1 (1 second)

  • Maximum value: 3600 (1 hour)

-c count

Specify this parameter if you want to collect performance information multiple times for the time interval specified for the -i parameter. If you omit this parameter, the default value will be used.

If you specify 0, the utility will be executed in succession until the user stops the execution. To stop the utility, press Ctrl+C to terminate the processing.

  • Default value: 1

  • Minimum value: 0

  • Maximum value: 1440

-f CSV-file-name

Specify this parameter to output the performance information to a CSV file. If you specify this parameter, performance information will not be output to the standard output.

If you specify 0 for the -c parameter, _YYYYMMDDhhmmss.csv will be added to the end of the name of the specified CSV file to which the performance information is to be output. YYYYMMDDhhmmss indicates the time (coordinated universal time) at which the file was created.

Example

If a CSV file is created at 09:30:00 (coordinated universal time) on April 01, 2018 by specifying -c 0 -f dlmperfinfo.csv, its file name will be as follows:

dlmperfinfo.csv_20180401093000.csv
-o

If the file specified for the -f parameter already exists, the file will be overwritten. If you omit this parameter, the file will not be overwritten, and processing will be canceled.

This parameter is valid when the -f parameter is specified.

If you specify 0 for the -c parameter, the file will always be overwritten regardless of whether the -o parameter is specified.

-m number-of-measurements-for-a-single-file

Specify the number of measurements to be output to a single CSV file. When the number of measurements reaches the specified value, a new CSV file will be created.

You can specify this parameter only when 0 is specified for the -c parameter.

  • Default value: 60

  • Minimum value: 1

  • Maximum value: 1440

-r total-number-of-files

Specify the maximum for the total number of CSV files. When the total number of CSV files reaches the specified number, the oldest CSV file will be deleted.

You can specify this parameter only when 0 is specified for the -c parameter.

  • Default value: 192

  • Minimum value: 2

  • Maximum value: 10000

-a

Specify this parameter to display all performance information items.

For details on the items that will be displayed, see Table 1.

-t

Specify this parameter if you do not want to display the performance information header.

-h

Displays the format of the dlmperfinfo utility.

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmperfinfo -i 300 -c 2
