Reporting Active Zone Statistics With the zonestat
Utility
To use the zonestat
utility, see the
zonestat
(1) man page and Reporting Resource Usage in a Non-Global Zone.
The zonestat
utility reports on the CPU, memory, and resource control utilization of the currently running zones. The zonestat
utility prints a series of reports at specified intervals. Optionally, the utility can print one or more summary reports.
The zonestat
utility also reports on network bandwidth utilization in exclusive-IP zones. An exclusive-IP zone has its own IP-related state and one or more dedicated datalinks.
When executed from within a non-global zone, only processor sets visible to that zone are reported. The non-global zone output will include all of the memory resources, and the limits resource.
The zonestat
service in the global zone must be online to use the zonestat
service in the non-global zones. The zonestat
service in each non-global zone reads system configuration and utilization data from the zonestat
service in the global zone.
The zonestatd
system daemon is started during system boot. The daemon monitors the utilization of system resources by zones, as well as zone and system configuration information such as psrset
processor sets, pool processor sets, and resource control settings. There are no configurable components.
