Enable command line activation of collecting performance data on HMC

Currently there is no way to programmatically change the data collection settings. The only way to change them is within the HMC gui. There needs to be a way to query and change them from the command line.

It appears that the commands are there (lsperfmon and chperfmon) but support refuses to provide documentation of the proper syntax in order to change the performance data collection.

    Hi,

    Please see comments in previous sequence with options to programmatically enable/disable performance data collection for a system via Rest API. Please re-open with additional details if the API's doesn't address the requirement or if there is more enhancement needed on the API's.

    Hi Robert,

    For a programmatic way to enable or disable performance and capacity monitoring, there are rest api's available, which the GUI also uses. Please see the below links for reference
