Basic AIX Tracing Commands

### Collect logs "./perfpmr.sh 600" OR "PERFPMR.sh -x trace.sh 5"
### Gather logs ./perfpmr.sh –r
### Generate trace reports
trcrpt -C all -r trace.raw > trace.tr
trcrpt -C all -t trace.fmt -n trace.nm -O timestamp=1,exec=on,tid=on,cpuid=on,PURR=on trace.tr > trace.int
### CPU analysis
curt -i trace.tr -n trace.syms -t -p -est -r PURR -o curt.out
### Lock analysis
trcrpt –C all -r trace.raw.lock > trace.tr.lock
splat -i trace.tr.lock -n trace.syms -d a -o splat.out
### CPU usage time analysis
tprof -skjeR -r trace
tprof -ujeskzl -A -I -N -r default -x sleep 60
### IO Analysis
trcrpt -r trace.raw > trace.rpt
filemon -i trace.rpt -n gennames.out -O all

filemon –O vm	Show reads and writes
filemon –O lf	Shows logical io seek.
filemon –O lv	Shows physical io seek
filemon –O pr	Shows process based read/write/seek
filemon –O abbreviated	Shows Random or Sequential IO with letters R and S.

### Network analysis netpmon -i trace.tr -n gennames.out -O all > trace.netpmon
### Process profiling pprof -i trace.tr
### Memory analysis svmon -O filename=on -P=PID
### Swap analysis svmon –P | more OR ps gv | head -n 1; ps gv | egrep -v "RSS" | sort +6b -7 -n –r
### Process-based network analysis
netpmon -o /tmp/netpmon.log -O all
trcstop
### All process threads ps -efklmo THREAD > /tmp/ps
### Process debugging Use PROCSTACK and PDUMP UTILITY.
