Zonestat v1.3
Zone Statistics is an OpenSolaris project devoted to developing a better understanding of resource consumption and resource controls of Solaris Containers (aka Solaris Zones) and their workloads.
Jeff Victor has updated Zonestat to version 1.3. He said, “I was never happy with the method that zonestat used to discover the mappings of zones to resource pools” and “I found the time to replace the code in zonestat which discovered zone-to-pool mappings with a more sophisticated method.”
