Optimizing System Performance by Monitoring UNIX Server With SAS

Category: Servers and Server OS, Networking and Communications

Overview To optimize system performance and maximize productivity, UNIX performance and resource usage should be monitored. The monitoring is often done manually by sporadic checking using commands such as 'top', 'ps'. A utility has been developed using SAS that monitors and identifies extremely resource-consuming processes, and sends e-mail to notify the owner of the processes. The utility is automatically invoked by another SAS macro in Windows NT. With the regular monitoring in appropriate frequency, performance issues can be detected early, ensuring system efficiency and productivity. This paper presents a number of techniques in interacting SAS with UNIX while going through the major steps of monitoring and reporting of the utility.
