Spotlight on Unix/Linux

Performance Diagnostics and Resolution Tool

Spotlight® on Unix/Linux

Spotlight®, a comprehensive performance diagnostics and resolution tool, helps you quickly correct problems before they degrade the performance of your Unix/Linux operating system.

As an administrator, ensuring your Unix/Linux operating systems are running smoothly is critical.

Spotlight® on Unix/Linux graphically displays, in real time, the actual flow of data in your Solaris, AIX, HPUX and Unix/Linux operating systems—including I/O subsystem, cache and kernel information—enabling you to identify congested areas and quickly respond to performance problems before they become a major concern.

Spotlight also automatically sets a baseline of normal activity for each system to set thresholds and send an audible or visual warning of impending problems. With these advanced notifications, administrators can proactively eliminate bottlenecks before they seriously impact end users.
