LicenseAnalyzer™ - Level 2 (True Active Usage) Data Types

(0) Unix Pacct

This data type contains process accounting (pacct) data generated by the system kernel. All Unix systems have built-in process accounting, and Open iT uses its output, converts it to the Open iT format, and then saves it in a database. The Unix Pacct data type is well-suited for measuring who executes what, where, and when it is executed. The CPU or memory usage may be calculated, and the number of times the programs are run may be counted.

Classifications

Name	Description
GID	The process by which group identification is running.
UID	The process by which user identification is running.
Host	The host (excluding the domain) where the process was executed.
Architecture	The architecture where the process was executed.
OS	The operating system where the process was executed.
Command	The name of the command (8 characters only) as typed on the command line or as used by exec Unix call.
Exit status	The exit status of the process; 0 means success.
Program class	The program class where the command executed belongs.
Domain	The domain where the execution host belongs.
Prime time (deprecated)	Indicates whether the data collection time is classified as prime or non-prime. Possible values are: prime - data collected during prime time period. non-prime - data collected outside the prime time period. undef - the prime time itself is undefined.

(32) Unix Application Usage

You can find information about executed jobs under the acc-wrapper in this data type. It resembles regular Unix process accounting. The difference is that acc-wrapper provides the total usage of resources by the command itself and its subprocesses during the command's runtime.

If a command forks off child processes, each will be accounted for separately under Unix process accounting. On the other hand, the acc-wrapper provides a single entry for the complete process tree created and completed during the command's runtime. This means that daemons, which detach from the tty by creating a subprocess and the command itself exits, will not be accounted for properly. Accounting for these must be done by Unix Pacct.
