This metric is used to collect command-line metrics. This metric gathers inputs like authentication details, host name, and the selection of metrics to be collected.
The metric data is stored in an XML file that is located in the LISA_HOME/umetrics directory by default. However, you can define a new location by updating the key stats.unix.xml.folder in local.properties.
Each file in that directory has a unique file name that is based on the operating system:
The XML file is used to feed the information about the command and metrics to be collected on a specific operating system. For example, to make the command and metrics known on a Linux operating system, a linux.xml file must be in the LISA_HOME/umetrics folder.
The following graphic is an example of an OSX command parser for iostat that collects CPU and disk0 metrics.
In the Specify Remote Machine details window, enter the operating system: Linux, OS X, or Solaris.
Enter the remote computer details:
Select authentication type and enter information:
When you use a private key or an encrypted private key, the private key file must be in PEM format and in the Data folder under the project. Use Browse to select the file.
Each operating system has a slightly different set of metrics from which to select. To select the metrics you would like to collect, use the check box in the left column.
