njmon & nextract plus Performance Stats for Power Systems: AIX & Linux

Abstract:
njmon is Nigel's replacement for the much-loved nmon but saves data to JSON or straight to a Time-Series database like InfluxDB for beautiful graphs via Grafana. It covers AIX, VIOS and Linux (on any platform).

nextract plus is a small Python program to extract the performance statistics from the HMC covering all Power operating systems at server, VIOS, OS levels - no agent needs to be installed.

This combination covers everything you need to visualise and tune your Power servers for maximum performance, efficiency and find spare resources.
