Graph System Metrics

The following command generates a custom graph:

$ ADVISE PERFORMANCE GRAPH/TYPE=CUSTOM=( -
_$ SYSTEM_METRICS=(DZRO,GVALID),TITLE="Pagefaulting")

The following example, Prompting for System Metrics Custom Graph, shows Performance Manager prompts and user input that generate the same graph in command mode:

$ ADVISE PERFORMANCE
PSPA> SELECT/BEGINNING=19-FEB-2006:13:00 -
_PSPA> /ENDING=19-FEB-2006:17:00 GRAPH=BY_NODE

The resulting graph appears in the example, Custom Graph for System Metrics.
