The Performance Toolbox for AIX (PTX) is a licensed product that allows graphic display of a variety of performance-related metrics. Among the advantages of PTX over ASCII reporting programs is that it is much easier to check current performance with a glance at the graphic monitor than by looking at a screen full of numbers. PTX also facilitates the combination of information from multiple performance-related AIX commands.
PTX is described in detail in the Performance Toolbox Version 1.2 and 2 for AIX: Guide and Reference.
