PLAISTOW, NH (December 1, 2000) Aurora Software, Inc. has
announced the general release of SarCheck 4.0 for AIX. SarCheck
is a performance management tool designed to assist system
administrators in the analysis of system performance by
translating the output of several monitoring utilities in a plain
English or HTML-formatted report. SarCheck identifies performance
bottlenecks, finds runaway processes and memory leaks, recommends
changes to various tunable parameters and hardware
configurations, and quantifies remaining system capacity.
SarCheck is designed to help system administrators learn more about how their systems work by explaining resource utilization and capacity limits in plain English. It uses the tools that come with the operating system, primarily sar and ps, to learn how the system's resources are being used. It then makes recommendations for kernel tuning and hardware upgrades, based on how well the system's resources are utilized. The software also helps the administrator to diagnose problems remotely, and to quickly recommend or implement corrective actions. Because SarCheck has been specifically designed with safety in mind, it will make detailed recommendations instead of attempting to fix problems itself. It will also explain the reasons for its recommendations.
SarCheck currently runs on many popular UNIX platforms. Translation to languages other than English is planned for the future. Contact Aurora Software, Inc., P.O. Box 1033, Plaistow, NH 03865. Tel.: (603) 382-4200; Fax: (603) 382-4247. More information and examples of reports are available at http://www.sarcheck.com.
