PSARC 2010/291: zonestat
An interesting ARC case found it’s way into the case log: Stephen Lawrence proposed the zonestat
to the architecture review comitee.
This feature consists out of two components. The zonestatd
and the zonestat
command. Stephen writes about the zonestatd
:
A new smf service svc:/system/zones-monitoring:default will execute a zones monitoring daemon. This daemon will implement monitoring the system configuration, managing extended accounting, and computing memory utilization on behalf of clients.
This zonestatd
is queried by the zonestat
command to deliver data about the resource utilization of zones.
Due to the implementation with a daemonized part, you can even tell the daemon to compute a report about the utilization in certain intervals:
