Measures reported by ProcActivityTest
The ProcActivityTest reports statistics related to the number and size of processes executing on a system. This test works on Solaris, Linux, HPUX, and AIX platforms only. The measures
made by the test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Current_processes |
The number of processes currently running
|
Number
|
The detailed diagnosis of this measure will display the process ID of each of the processes currently executing, the process argument (the process name and path), and the virtual size of each process.
|
| Processes_added |
The number of processes added during the last measurement period
|
Number
|
|
| Processes_removed |
The number of processes that were abnormally terminated/completed during the last measurement period
|
Number
|
|
| Virtual_size |
The total size of the process in virtual memory
|
MB
|
|
| Resident_size |
The resident size of the process. This denotes the size taken up by the process in the RAM, i.e., real address space
|
MB
|
Virtual size is always greater than or equal to the resident size of the process. This measure will not be available for AIX platforms.
