Need to enhance the AIX / LPAR monitoring as the basic monitoring is not sufficient to understand the performance problems.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

After speaking to the IBM Power Sales team, existing AIX metrices are not sufficient even when enhanced with the IBM pHMC sensor metrices. 

The customers are relying on the vmstat/iostat/nmon commands to extract reports and do manual work of assessing the performance of the IBM Power series servers which run critical workloads. 

Below are some of the metrices they expect in Instana which can address this pain point. 

CPU:
Physical Busy
Phys C
Processor folding

Type: dedicated/ donate

Memory:
Processor%
FSCache%

Process utilization:
Individual workload process resource utilizations

Hardware Threadlevel consumption monitoring 

IO part:

Shared ethernet adapter
SRIOV
virtual NIC utilization at LPAR level and Port level

our teams are available for further discussions on expectations to make Instana go-to tool for Power customers.

    FScache% and processor% is represented as computational memory (process) and non computation (FSCache) memory..some of the others needs support from AIX.From the above list, is there anything which needs immediate attention..?

    Not part of the roadmap for 2H 2024.

    Wil be reconsidered for 1H 2025.
