Fixed In:

Statmonitor data does not include system stats for linked topaz with s-bit set

System statistics may not be collected for linked topaz sessions, if topaz is started as a user other than the user owning the GemStone processes, the users are not in the same group, and the s-bit is set for the topaz executable. This is since the /proc/<pid> files that contain the system stats information are owned by the userId that starts topaz. If the userId that started statmonitor does not have permission to access these files, no system statistics are available.

Workaround

Running statmonitor as root will allow it to access the files.
