I've been trying many variations syntax wise that I've found through searches but so far I haven't been able to get it to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm tearing my hair out at this point trying to figure it out.

BTW our iseries is at V7R3M0.

This is the latest version I've tried.

  values QSYS2.HTTP_POST(

           'http://10.2.2.9:9081/apex/n4restapiservice/holtUnitDM/v1/',

           '{"equipmentId":"CAXU5289230","category":"IMPORT","freightKind":"FULL"}',

           '{"headers": {"header": ["Content-Type,application/json","Authorization,Bearer2f2da8ea-8266-408b-bbf9-9024d96c0634"]}}'

         )

the error I received is below.

Here's another variation I've tried and the error I'm receiving.

 values QSYS2.HTTP_POST(

           'http://10.2.2.9:9081/apex/n4restapiservice/holtUnitDM/v1/',

           '{"equipmentId":"CAXU5289230","category":"IMPORT","freightKind":"FULL"}',

                       '{"header":"Content-Type,application/json","Authorization":"Bearer e52ebb5c-c285-41c9-9877-2b1f189ddaab"}'

                       );

We see lpar2rrd is running fine on the server..infact we have upgrade the lpar2rrd to the latest version on the aix server but still it is not showing on the gui

now when i refer to gui i am attaching the screenshot of the page where i dont see the frame db92 and the lpars running under it

if you see in the screen shot you only see p9 frames but not p10 frames for eg db92..but all the data is getting captured on the lpar2rrd servers

i am open for a quick call if possible

Sizing is 4 CPU and 16GB RAM.

All CPU cores are sitting at 100% utilization permanently. (load average is 17.75 11.03 10.62)

Top CPU% jobs are always postgres jobs with a command lines like this:

• postgres: 16/main: postgres xormon 127.0.0.1(xxx) DELETE
• postgres: 16/main: postgres xormon 127.0.0.1(xxx) idle

We suspect that the issue is related to IBM i os agent monitoring, we got ~250 IBM i LPARs sending performance data to the XorMon instance. If we stop those CPU utilization goes down.

Has anyone else had such performance issues? Or maybe some sizing recommendations?

Thanks 
Inocencio

Tried to find information about the parameters show in CPU Cores when I look at one LPAR. Can someone help me understand what Physical and Usage means?

please , can you tell me what are the jobs i must call to start lpar2rrd agent after an IPL instead using MENU ?

starting subsystem don't start the RTV_SYSSTS and SND_SYSSTS,

should i call the 2 jobs with all the parms i can see in joblog ?

thanks,

I need your help figuring out how to use  QSYS2.HTTP_POST_VERBOSE to send a file to Azure blob. 

I can use the POSTMAN to upload using that end point using POST method.

first problem ever with lpar2rrd, i've got an unmanaged IBM i LPAR (no HMC) connected to a XORUX 7.80-1 Appliance.

The IBM i V7R4 LPAR was connected to another LPAR2RRD before, which we switched off.

On the new one, the LPAR does not show on the Interface. The Client states it's connected.

IF: C_SNDSTS - connection Established() 

Also the Deamon on the Appliance seems to be active. (netstat)

I even see "data" of the LPAR in the lpar2rrd/data folder.

But when i run load.sh manually there is nothing about the System.

I even deleted the Lib on IBM i an did a fresh install. Nothing seems to be wrong, i don't now what the Problem is.

There were now problems visible in the Logs also.

Does anybody have an idea what i can check?

Thanks in advance!

we start moving lpars from POWER9 to POWER10

and now in lapar2rrd we dont get info on machine CPU Memory e.t.c

we get this error it gets a blank in the directory path

any ide how to get right path

is it possible to export AIX LPARs rPerf historical data in csv or some other format that can be used for further processing? CPU Workload Estimator just produces an image and that's it. I'd like to further analyse that data (for example separate prod from non-prod lpars etc ...) . Is it maybe possible to export data from XOROMON and import it into XORMON NG which does have additional features of exporting data ?

Regards,

Nenad

I'm connected to a HMC and getting performance data back from lots of IBMi and VIO servers; all but two. On one host, on the left navbar for "IBM Power Systems ->. servername -> LPAR -> Removed " there are two VIO servers listed. I'm getting data from all of our other VIO servers on all of our other hosts, as well as data from the IBMi lpars on this specific host. And since they're listed as "Removed", then there seems to have had data retrieved about them originally?

They seem to be displaying as expected in the HMC performance tabs appropriately.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot/diagnose as the next step? All ideas are appreciated!

Thanks-- Jeff

Is there manual way to script that on the LPAR2RRD server?

These systems are running IBMi 7R3 with the 1.1.7-full LPAR2RRD agent.

I tried to install LPAR2RRD on one of the partitions, and when I tried to run

Ilodruns file(Q1WWTNS/Z_LPAR2RRD) I have a message:

MCH42B5 - Program or module not convertible.

Cause . . . . . :  The program or module object does not contain the required

 information for it to be converted. Conversion is required when the object 

 is not in the correct format for the current machine implementation, or when

 the object requires hardware features not present on the current machine.  

 The program or module affected is LODRUNS.                  

What is the prerequisites for LPAR2RRD?

Do I need to install/update another products on the system?

------------

Partition on version:

V7R3M0

-LPAR2RRD and IBM CMC - Enterprise Pool 2.0

-IBM CMC - Capacity Monitoring

All 3 tools gather performance through the HMC APIs but Capacity Monitoring report always a lower CPU usage.

Looking at two real cases I assumed that LPAR2RRD report the CPU assigned by the hypervisor to the LPAR

(utilizedCapped+utilizedUncapped) while Capacity Monitoring reports only "utilized" processor unit defined on the HMC REST APIs docs as: utilizedCapped + utilizedUncapped - idle.

The difference is the CPU assigned to the LPAR but not used by the OS (idleProcessorUnits).

In some case the idleProcessroUnits is not a so small fraction of CPU reported by LPARD2RRD: it could be usefull gather and graph the utilizedProcUnits too.

For example in the following situation (IBM i LPAR, capped) when the CPU is capped to "9" you are inclined to think that system is slow. This is not true because there are a few idle core.

It could could be considered an agentless OS CPU utilization monitoring

where do I need to look in the logs?

I've a LPAR2RRD 7.50 on a RHEL8.5 and I should connect it to a Virtual HMC V9 R2 SP950.

I ran the command to check if the hmc is visible from the server and it's OK.

So, I have correctly configured the connection parameters on the GUI, but when I click on SAVE & TEST BUTTON, I have thi reply - Connection OK but NO MANAGED SERVERS FOUND [see attach]

On HMCs I've two server that properly acquire each performances.

Could you help me?

Thanks

I've installed an LPAR2RRD 7.50 server and I've configured it to acquire data from an HMC, rel > 9, by RestAPI.

The various HOSTS look like are acquired properly, but under the SERVER section in the GUI, where I have my IBM HOSTS, I'm able to only see the each LPARS but I'm not able to seen the CPU POOLS, memories etc etc about each hosts.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you guys any suggestions?

THANKS
