- GlancePlus: a powerful and easy-to-use online performance diagnostic tool for HP-UX systems. It is distributed in two forms: 'gpm', a Motif-based program and 'glance', a character mode program.
- MeasureWare / PerfView: part of the OpenView HP solutions. MeasureWare is used to collect performance data during a specific period of time and PerfView is the tool used to display the results.

- nickel (for Network related Information Collector, Keeper and Elaborator): returns a complete description of the system (products, patches, KL, etc.). Download the shar file (44.6 K) and:
- sh nickel.shar to create the executable and man page
- execute /opt/contrib/bin/nickel
HTML output is created under /tmp/nickel.<hostname>.
- prospect: likely one of the favorite tools used at HP. Please refer to The HP prospect tool for more information.
- pi (HP-UX 11.x only): extract and display processor performance counters for PA-8500 and later CPUs ruuning a 64-bit HP-UX 11 kernel. Used to measure quantities such as CPI (Cycle Per Instruction), bus utilization, cache and TLB miss rates, Download the installation file (.gz, 83.2K) and install it using swinstall. The main executable (pi) is created under /usr/contrib/bin.
- procvm (HP-UX 11.x only): reports page allocation statistics. Very useful to tune the large pages mechanism. Download the executable (28K) that can be used on HP-UX 11 only.
- tusc (HP-UX 11.x only): prints out all system calls. Very useful in the case of an application crash since all calls can be traced. Download the installation file (.shar, 828KB) and unshar the file (sh <install file>) to extract the executable (tusc) and the man file (tusc.1).
Example: script tusc.1; tusc -e -n -p -T '%T' -f -v <pid#>
- SysInfo (HP-UX 11.x only): Prints out an interesting subset of machine information that is not easily available: number of processors, CPU speed, memory size, swap size. Download the installation file (24K).
- MaxSizes (HP-UX 11.x only): Watches a set of PIDs examining them every few seconds (-sleep <sec>), keeping track of their maximum sizes (data, stack, shm, etc) and prints out the answers (use +more) when the PID exits, or MaxSizes receives an interrupt (Ctrl+C). Download the installation file (87.7K)
* 1st line is RSS (Resident Set Size) or RAM-in-use (related to the systems current ram usage).
* 2nd line "virtual" is as large as the program has gotten (related to the programs Dmax, Smax and Tmax sizes).
The difference between the two is currently swapped out somewhere.
Example: MaxSizes -sleep 2 -Mb +more 2061
