HP has a product line that will monitor and log numerous items and will
retain for as long and/or as large a file as you may need. The products are
called Measureware (the actual monitoring/logging tool), Performance
Monitor, Performance Manager (Windows based) and/or a real-time monitoring
package called GlancePlus.
I use Measureware and the Performance Manager to monitor 4.3.3 and 5.2
systems (also does Windows). I have used this package, granted on HP systems
for many years, any have found few others that compare with it. I have
heard that IBM is supposed to be offering a variation of it but that's all I
know about it.
The HP Performance Monitor, along with the Measureware software, provides
surprising 'drill down' capabilities with canned or custom reports and 'near
time' monitoring via a web based GUI that refreshes periodically. I was
quite surprised when I found that it monitored AIX with much the same
capabilities as on HP systems. Here is a link to a PDF fact sheet on the
openview.hp.com web site...

No, I don't sell, market or work for HP just really like the product and
though it is not cheap it is well worth it as far as I am concerned.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Historical System Performance Data
Has any one used performance monitoring software from
http://www.pawz.ws/Products.htm or similar software to keep a graphical
representation of the historical performance on your systems?
Or can any one recommend software that will do this?
