nmon will let you capture to a file similar to sar.
nmon will do some things that topas will not, like show aio and adapter use.
nmon appears to do more and is a work in progress.
There is a related package to nmon that will let you create excel
spreadsheet charts.
For Topas you must be root, but for nmon you don't need to be if you make
/dev/kmem readonly by others.
nmon is a little flakey in adjusting to sreen sizes and changes.
Topas comes with AIX and is supported.

Hi *,
I read something about nmon, but I can't determine large difference betwenn
nmon and topas.
Can someone call some advantages and disadvantages?
Best regards,
Frank Mueller
