General
=======
The Osrm2(tm) Lite Performance Monitor with Multi-User Performance
Interface (MUPI) is a kernel level, real time, performance
monitoring and management tool for system and application resource
usage under OS/2 2.x, OS/2 SMP, and OS/2 Warp. Including a
configurable sample rate, performance threshold setting and alarms,
working set, thread detail display, kill process options, as well as
real time graphical indicators and long term data logging for post
processing analysis, the Osrm2(tm) Lite Performance Monitor provides
the most comprehensive monitoring tool for OS/2 2.x systems.
Unlike other monitors, the Osrm2(tm) Lite Performance Monitor, Osrm2
AppMon, Osrm2 FileMon, and Osrm2 CacheMon utilities work with
information retrieved directly from the OS/2 kernel. This is a
superior, less intrusive, and less resource consumptive method of
collection compared to other performance monitoring products.
The product was designed to provide the hobbyist, small business
owner, developer, corporate user, and network OS/2 analyst with
informative performance and resource usage displays and reporting
capability. Osrm2(tm) Lite will be available April 2nd, 1995
through popular OS/2 resellers and distributors.
C.O.L. Systems Inc. has been in the business of providing
practical OS/2 systems performance monitoring and management
software since 1989.

Product Description
===================
Configuration
-------------
The Osrm2(tm) Lite Performance Monitor provides password protection,
configuration control over all displays and process refresh timing,
graph colors, save and restore window position and sizes, exception
thresholds, and data logging file control.
Displays
--------
The Osrm2(tm) Lite Performance Monitor provides a number of displays
to monitor all facets of system and application activity. Following
is a brief description of each:
System View Cpu , Irq , dispatch counts, complete paging subsystem
information, memory information, swap size and growth
percentage, maximum active thread count, and cache activity.
The view is switchable from summary to detail, including
support for OS/2 SMP multiple processor activity.
IO View All logical partition (including floppy and CD-ROM drives)
Read/Write Count/Response/Bytes as well as hard-disk storage
available and used indicators. Communication ports 1-4 and
printer ports 1-2 are also monitored.
App View For each process, a summary of CPU, Dispatch, Page Faults,
Fault Wait time, File Wait time and Read/Write activity.
LanServer For Server, Requestor, and HPFS386 activity.
Threads From a selected process in Application View, display each
thread of the application. Displayed are: CPU Utilization,
Dispatch Counts, Page Faults, Page Fault resolution time,
and File wait time.
Graph Displays CPU Busy, Memory Used, and Swap Storage used
percentage in line chart running for five (5)
minutes of five (5) second refresh records. When
data line reaches end of X-axis, 20 percent of the
display is scrolled back. When graph is icon, data
is still visible and the icon text displays the most
recent records data values.
Processes
---------
The Osrm2(tm) Lite Performance Monitor provides a number of processes that
operate in the background during the monitoring session:
Logging During the Osrm2(tm) Lite Performance Monitor session,
data records can be stored to binary files. C.O.L.
Systems Inc. has provided a REXX extension DLL for
allowing REXX procedures to read and process the
data for reports and analysis or populating database
tables such as with IBM DB2/2 for OS/2.
Threshold Configurable performance thresholds are tested against
the data samples during the Osrm2(tm) Lite
Performance Monitor session. A dialog will pop-up
when any threshold has been met or exceeded to alert
the user.
Utilities Each of the Osrm2 Tools (AppMon, FileMon, CacheMon) can
be executed directly from the Osrm2 Lite menu. The Osrm2
Tools are described later in this document.
Reporting
---------
C.O.L. Systems Inc. has developed a OS/2 REXX extension DLL which
is loaded by a REXX procedures (CMD file) to read the log file
output from the Osrm2(tm) Lite Performance Monitor, Osrm2 AppMon,
Osrm2 FileMon, and Osrm2 CacheMon utilities.
Osrm2 AppMon Utility
--------------------
Allows the performance analyst to monitor any application thread and
file measurements at intervals from 1 second to 45 minutes. By
creating a output log, the user can utilize the Osrm2(tm) Lite Rexx
extension interface to create reports of all measurements. AppMon
can be started directly from the Osrm2 menu or from the Application
Activity screen for a specific process.
Osrm2 FileMon Utility
---------------------
Allows the performance analyst to monitor any and all physical disk
and logical file measurements at intervals from 1 second to 45
minutes. By creating a output log, the user can utilize the
Osrm2(tm) Lite Rexx extension interface to create reports of all
measurements.
Osrm2 CacheMon Utility
----------------------
Allows the performance analyst to monitor FAT and HPFS Cache as well
as Memory and Paging subsystems at intervals from 1 second to 45
minutes. By creating a output log, the user can utilize the
Osrm2(tm) Lite Rexx extension interface to create reports of all
measurements.
Symmetrical Multiprocessor Support
==================================
Osrm2(tm) Lite provides the same detail information on OS/2 SMP
as it does on OS/2 2.11 or OS/2 Warp, and it does so with the same
software. This means that if the user upgrades from a single
processor implementation to SMP, Osrm2(tm) Lite will be there
to provide the same level of quality performance monitoring.
When SMP is detected Osrm2(tm) Lite will adjust the record
information and allow the user to display either a summary
of the sampled data or will break out the display for
each processor. In addition, Osrm2(tm) Lite will collect
detail information for post process support via the REXX
extension.
Osrm2(tm) Lite is itself scaleable to a SMP implementation.
Multi-User Process Interface (MUPI) Technology
==============================================
C.O.L. Systems Inc. has developed a new technology which allows
the concurrent data collection by multiple processes from the OS/2
kernel.
Unlike other kernel level monitors, which only support access of
only one process, MUPI can allow the user to run the Osrm2(tm) Lite
Performance Monitor while running any or all of the Osrm2 Tools
(AppMon, FileMon, CacheMon).
Each process has control over it's data collection interval and
logging through the MUPI technology.
This technology will form a base from C.O.L. Systems Inc. can
introduce new enhancements such as concurrent network access, text
based monitors, central data collection, third party products, etc.
OS/2 software vendor and VAR inquiries are welcome.
