<br></div>I'm aware of iostat, and nfsstat, are there any tools that would be analogous to the windows perforamce monitor type stuff, where I can look at pretty graphs without too much effort? <br><br></div>I'm trying to get a rough idea of the max iops for this setip.<br>

Its all hardware thats out of warranty and so we cannot use it in production, but its great for dr and testing.<br>
<br>Any suggestions for NFS server performance monitoring for dummies, particularly as a VMware datastore? <br><br></div><div>Thanks, <br></div><div>Mike<br></div><div><br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br>

Today I went to go hook up an external modem to one of our servers. It's running an older version of debian. I had forgot that I have a temperature and humidity sensing system hooked up to the com port. It's pretty sweet, monitors the temp on the room and each individual machine and I have it hooked up to email me about anything unusual and text my phone with anything really serious. In the old building leaving the sever room door open was enough for it to start emailing me.<br>
<br>
Anyway, it only has one serial port and several USB ports. So two solutions come to mind. One is a Serial to USB adapter, and the other is getting a card with a couple of serial ports on it. I wonder which course of action has the least headache involved and is such hardware available locally?<br>
