NAME
     zonestatd - zones monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/zones/zonestatd


DESCRIPTION
     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 set-
     tings.


     This daemon is started automatically by the zone  management
     software  and  should  not  be invoked directly. It does not
     constitute a programming interface; it is  classified  as  a
     private interface.

SECURITY
     The zonestat service in the global zone must be  online  for
     the  zonestat service in each non-global zone (NGZ) to func-
     tion 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.

ATTRIBUTES
     See attributes(5) for descriptions of the  following  attri-
     butes:

System Administration Commands                      zonestatd(1M)



     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 facil-
     ity. If not already enabled, it enables the tracking of pro-
     cess accounting resources, and configures a process account-
     ing  file.  The  zonestat  service  will  roll  the  process
     accounting log at its configured interval (see zonestat(1)).


     If extended process accounting is  enabled  externally,  the
     zonestat service will use the process accounting log as con-
     figured. It will not  roll  the  accounting  log,  but  will
     operate  correctly  if  the  accounting log is rolled exter-
     nally.
