Measures reported by PagingTest

This test monitors memory paging in/out activity, and can provide early warning indicators of system memory bottlenecks. The measures made by the test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Pageout_requests Page-out requests/sec Reqs/Sec

This measure will not be available for Linux systems.

Page_swap_out Pages paged out per sec Pages/Sec This measure will not be available for HPUX systems.
Pages_freed Pages freed out per sec by the page scanner Pages/Sec This measure will not be available for Linux and HPUX systems.
Pages_scanned Pages scanned by the page daemon as it looks for pages used infrequently Pages/Sec If the page daemon scanning rate stays above 200 pages per second for long periods of time, then a memory shortage is likely. This measure will not be available for Linux and HPUX systems.
Ufs_inodes_removed Percentage of UFS inodes removed from the free list while still pointing at reuseable memory pages. This is the same as the percentage of igets that force page flushes. Percent This measure will not be available for Linux and HPUX systems.
