 ===== Sending TOPAS Data =====
-Most AIX systems record the last week's worth of performance history in **/etc/perf/daily**. The files in this directory are actually binary and it's easier to work with them if they are decoded to CSV format before sending them. The tool [[https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/es/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.cmds5/topasout.htm?view=kc|topasout]] is available for this task. The syntax is **topasout -c datafile** where the 'datafile' is the file you find in **/etc/perf/daily**. You'll notice that you now have an output file in your current working directory. The file will have a similar name to the data file. This is a record of performance history for the 24 hour period recorded in the file. The sample frequency is every five minutes. This data can be graphed and interpreted for a clearer understanding of the systems performance.
