Solaris has some tools to graph *SOME* things. sdtperfmeter will give
you live graphs for some things (CPU, load, I/O, etc.) but these will
not be logged (it's realtime only). "sag" (system activity grapher) can
produce graphs out of the data that "sadc" collects (see man sar). I
have never liked it's graphs and have even found them to be inaccurate.


There are lots of third party companies that make utilties such as BMC &
TeamQuest. Also checkout Sun Management Center (SunMC) at
http://www.sun.com/sunmanagementcenter

For a network you have to pay for this but you might get a single host
license with your machine (SunMC comes out of Sun Enterprise Symon & Sun
Symon before that. A one host license was always inlcuded with each
machine. Not sure if SunMC continues that or not. If you do have lots
of machines and want them all controlled via one console then you
definitely have to buy the license.)

Regards
Tim

As Tim mentioned, Sun Management Center will do graphing,
however it is REAL-TIME. It can store historical data but
doesn't have the ability to display it. For graphing long
term data, there is a Reporter module available for Sun
Management Center that'll allow you to graph (collect data)
for any monitored property. It's available for a FREE 30
day evaluation at:
http://www.HalcyonInc.com/downloads

Also note that as of SunMC version 3.0, the basic monitoring
is free for any number of hosts. The basic pack allows you
to monitor your hardware and the basic OS... (i.e. System
Load, CPU, Swap, Memory)

regards,
bobby
