Use the DECwindows Motif Real-time Display

This chapter provides information about the use and basic modification of the default displays supplied with the Performance Manager real-time display.

These predefined displays consist of windows or instrument panels containing bar graphs, strip charts, or meters. These instruments are used to view OpenVMS system performance statistics.

To access performance data for use with the Real-time Display, you must have the Performance Manager installed and access to the data established for the target node using proxies or network objects. Refer to the Performance Agent Administrator Guide for more information. To use the Real-time feature with DECnet Phase V when Phase V Node Synonyms are not defined, you will need to create a node name translation file and use the /DNS_NAME qualifier. For more information on this logical name, PSPA$DNS_NAMES, and the translation file, refer to the appendix Performance Manager Logical Names.
