My information is a little dated, but HP used to sell GlancePlusPak which
included both Glance/iX and the Scope collector.  Scope was a background job
that collected performance information in a logfile.  You could set the size
of the logfiles by number of days (or hours or minutes) of history that you
wanted to keep, and you could export the records for archival purposes.  The
disadvantage was that the Measurement Interface was always running which
does put some overhead on your machine.  I seem to remember a message from
Stan saying that this was not insignificant.

From this data you could use the LaserRX tool, or even Excel to create
graphs of the data that was collected.  Data was typically collected in
Global, Application and Process Summarys as well as details.  I also believe
that it kept information on things like disk free space.

Hope this helps.

Jim

We use GLANCE to monitor system load and performance, but we would like
a way that the readings would go to a file (or dataset) so we could have
more of a historical comparison that we could look at over a long period
of time (also so we wouldn't have to be tied to looking at a monitor).
Is there anything out there we can use to accomplish this?

TIA,

Ted
