Report formatting options
Review the report formatting options for the svmon command.
The svmon configuration file can generate two types of
reports for the -G, -P, -U, -C, and -W option:
- Compact report, which is a one-line-per-entity report.
- Long report, which uses several lines per entity.
For the -G option, you can switch from the standard report to the compact report with the option -O summary=longreal. For the -P, -U, -C and -W options, a compact report is reported when the option -O summary=basic is set and the option -O segment=off is set (default value).
The following -O options can be used in both compact
or long reports:
- -O format=[80,160,nolimit]: This option sets the width of the report. The default width of most reports is 80 characters. But, some reports need 160 characters, in which case this option is implicitly set. You can always specify to display the reports with more columns, to eliminate truncated strings.
- -O timestamp=[on | off]: When this flag is set to on, a timestamp, recorded when the svmon command begins retrieving data, is displayed at the beginning of the report. Because the data collection can take some time, you can use the -O timestamp=on with the -i flag to specify timestamp intervals. The time specified with the -i flag is the interval between the end of one svmon command iteration and the start of the next one.
Example:
In this example, the command line specifies to run svmon
3 times every 5 seconds. The timestamp and command line are set with
the .svmonrc file.
- -O commandline=[on|off]: when set to on, this option adds the command line you use to produce the report in the report header.
# svmon -G -i 5 3
Command line : svmon -G -i 5 3
.svmonrc: -O timestamp=on,commandline=on

in use 189533 0 29587- -O unit=[auto,page,KB,MB,GB]: this option is set to page by
default. In this case, the reported metrics for each segment are in
the segment page size:
- s are 4 KB pages
- m are 64 KB pages
- L are 16 MB pages
- S are 16 GB pages
When auto,KB, MB, or GB are used, only the 3 most significant digits are displayed. You should be careful when interpreting the results with a unit other than page. When the auto setting is selected, the abbreviated units are specified immediately after each metric (K for kilobytes, M for megabytes, or G for gigabytes).
