Doing some more digging, it appears that the number of performance metrics that can be viewed via SNMP on OpenSolaris is minimal. I am proposing a project that will enhance the number of metrics available via SNMP. Since SNMP is fairly widespread, it allows one to avoid the whole collector/recording problem -- there are many tools that can do this today with SNMP, so one can choose their favorite (instead of worrying about additional agents running on a box that might or might not work with OpenSolaris).
I'd like the endorsement of the performance and/or sysadmin community (since there's a lot of overlap, I think either would be appropriate). I would suggest that it be limited to well know and relatively stable metrics initially (the type of data seen from the various *stat commands comes to mind), though it could be enhanced as time goes on. _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
