| | 40 hits |
| Administrators looking to monitor and graph the performance of Solaris zones, containers, and LDOMs (logical domains) can now proactively generate alarms/events when critical problems occur.
The lightweight standalone Halcyon Neuron Agent now includes a new monitored property labeled Zone Statistics that proactively monitors the CPU and Memory utilization of each zone in addition to the number of processes running inside the zone.
Administrators can set custom alarm thresholds to generate email notifications and events when thresholds are crossed. In addition, performance metrics can be enabled for zones of interest to collect and store up to 5 years worth of performance data that can also be viewed through the graphical reporting interface.
