zonestatd —
zones monitoring daemon
zonestatd is a system daemon that is started
during system boot. It monitors the utilization of system resources by zones,
as well as zone and system configuration information such as psrset psets,
pool psets, and resource control settings.
This daemon is started automatically by the zone management software and should
not be invoked directly. It does not constitute a programming interface, but
is classified as a private interface.
The zonestat service is managed by the service management facility,
smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/system/zones-monitoring:default
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The service's status
can be queried using the
svcs(1) command.
The zonestat service has the following SMF configuration property:
config/sample_interval
This property sets the
zonestatd sample
interval. This is the interval used by the zones monitoring daemon,
zonestatd to sample resource utilization.
This is also the interval used to determine configuration changes such as
processor set changes, resource control changes, and zone state changes.
The default interval is 5 seconds.
The zonestat service makes use of extended accounting facility. If not already
enabled, it enables the tracking of process accounting resources, and
configures a process accounting file. The zonestat service will roll the
process accounting log at its configured interval.
If extended process accounting is enabled externally, the zonestat service will
use the process accounting log as configured. It will not roll the accounting
log, but will operate correctly if the accounting log is rolled externally.
Private
The zonestat service in the global zone must be online for the zonestat service
in each non-global zone (NGZ) to function properly. The zonestat service in
each NGZ does not directly read system configuration and utilization data, but
rather reads from the zonestat service on the global zone.
