Chapter 9: Performance Agent Commands › ADVISE COLLECT SHOW

ADVISE COLLECT SHOW

This command displays information about the data collection process.

Format

Description

The ADVISE COLLECT SHOW command displays either the schedule file settings, the status of the data collection process and nodes or both, or the version of the Performance Agent component being used.

Parameters

Schedule

The following command displays the contents of the schedule file:

$ ADVISE COLLECT SHOW SCHEDULE

When you specify SCHEDULE, the following items are displayed:

• Beginning date
• Ending date
• Hot file queue length
• Number of days after which daily data files are deleted
• List of nodes
• Weekly data collection schedule
• Performance Agent working set size
• Performance Agent free space needed
• Path

STATUS

The following command displays the current status of the nodes and the Performance Agents on those nodes:

$ ADVISE COLLECT SHOW STATUS PRIMETIME

Each node in the schedule file is listed along with the node's status. The status of the data collection process is one of the following:

• Running—The data collection process is running and collecting data.
• Stopped—The Performance Agent is not running on a node in the collection definition. The status of that specific node is unknown.
• SchedWait—The data collection process is running, but data is not being collected due to the schedule specified in the schedule file.
• FreeSpaceWait—The Performance Agent suspends all collection if there are fewer blocks than specified for free space needed on the disk to which the Performance Agent writes data. The DCL command ADVISE COLLECT MODIFY nodename/FREE_SPACE_NEEDED establishes this value.
• NoPrivs—The user issuing the ADVISE COLLECT SHOW command does not have the SYSLCK privilege and is unable to learn the status.

VERSION

The following command displays the version of the Performance Agent component being used.

$ ADVISE COLLECT SHOW VERSION

ALL

The following command displays all the information listed by the SCHEDULE, STATUS, and VERSION keywords.

$ ADVISE COLLECT SHOW ALL

The ALL keyword is the default; therefore, specifying ADVISE COLLECT is equivalent to ADVISE COLLECT SHOW ALL.
