Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Monitoring Interval Granularity (iostat)
I hope this is not too off-topic, but here goes.
I have a linux system (RH AS 3.0) running Oracle 9iR2. I'm monitoring disk usage on our RAID arrays by executing iostat and capturing the output to a file. Eventually, I'd like to plot the data out and see how the disks are performing.
I'm currently executing iostat every 5 minutes. How would one determine the interval granularity? I guess it would depend on a lot of things.
So for example, if it's very busy take an iostat snapshot every 5 or 10 minutes, say. If it's lightly loaded, take a snapshot every minute perhaps?
Any thoughts?
