The UX Processes object provides counters for monitoring processes on AIX systems.
For counters that accept a process instance, use the process identifier (PID). For example, to monitor the private bytes used by a process whose PID is 3517, type:
UX Processes|Process Private Bytes|3517
To monitor a counter for all processes, such as the percentage of CPU utilization by all processes executing code in the user space, use the _Total instance and type:
UX Processes|% User CPU Time|_Total
The following table describes the counters for the UX Processes object.
