Projects and tasks are used to label and separate workloads. The extended accounting subsystem is used to monitor resource consumption by workloads that are running on the system. Extended accounting produces accounting records for the workload tasks and processes.

For an overview of extended accounting and example procedures for administering extended accounting, see Chapter 4, Extended Accounting (Overview), in System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Solaris Zones and Chapter 5, Administering Extended Accounting (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Solaris Zones.
