OSWatcher (oswbb) is a collection of UNIX shell scripts intended to collect and archive operating system and network metrics to aid support in diagnosing performance issues. It is small, simple and easy to use, but not that killer tool at all… but you get come graphs and a report with some “clicks” and you mind find issues you could further investigate…
OS Watcher
OS Watcher
A small and nice tool provided by Oracle to analyze your system performance:
Oracle Support Document 461053.1 (OSWatcher Analyzer User Guide) can be found at: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=461053.1
This would start the tool and collect data at 30 second intervals and log the last 1 hours of data to archive files

Testing for discovery of OS Utilities...
VMSTAT found on your system.
IOSTAT found on your system.
MPSTAT found on your system.
IFCONFIG found on your system.
NETSTAT found on your system.
TOP found on your system.
Testing for discovery of OS CPU COUNT
oswbb is looking for the CPU COUNT on your system
CPU COUNT will be used by oswbba to automatically look for cpu problems
CPU COUNT found on your system.
CPU COUNT = 8
Discovery completed.
