The UX System Calls object provides counters for monitoring system calls on AIX systems.
For counters that accept a processor instance, an individual CPU identifier is an integer: 0, 1, 2, and so on. For example, to monitor the number of system exec calls per second counter on CPU 0, type:
UX System Calls|Exec Calls/s|0
To monitor a counter system wide, such as the number of fork system calls per second, use the _Total instance and type:
UX System Calls|Fork Calls/s|_Total
