Monitor Solaris Zones with prstat

Solaris provides an interactive command line tool, prstat, to help you to monitor the zone utilisation if you provide "-Z" flag. The screen displays both processes info and zones info to fit your terminal window.

With "-c" flag to avoid overwritting the previous display and "-n 1,99999" to tell prstat to display up to 99999 zones (that should be enough for all your zones) information, you can pipe that to AWK to extract the MEMORY and CPU. If you schedule this task to start at mid-night daily at a sampling interval of 300 with 288 samples, you cover the whole day monitoring of all your zones.

Here is a script to convert the prstat zone data to CSV

#! /bin/ksh


export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin


# zone IDs store as comma separated
zids=`zoneadm list -v | awk 'NR>1{printf("%d,",$1)}'`
zids=${zids%,}

# zone NAMEs store as comma separated
znames=`zoneadm list -v | awk 'NR>1{printf("%s,",$2)}'`
znames=${znames%,}


prstat -Z -n 1,99999 $1 $2 | nawk -v zids=$zids -v znames=$znames '
# print header (mem/* and cpu/*)
BEGIN {
 n=split(zids,a,",")
 m=split(znames,b,",")
 # %mem ($5)
 for(i=1;i<=n;++i){
  printf("mem/%s,",b[i])
 }
 # %cpu ($7)
 for(i=1;i<=n;++i){
  printf("cpu/%s,",b[i])
 }
 printf("\n")
}
# store each interval in array
/ZONEID/,/Total/ {
 if ( $0 !~ /ZONEID/ && $0 !~ /Total/ ) {
  gsub("%","")
  mem[$1]=$5
  cpu[$1]=$7
 }
}
/Total/ {
 for(i=1;i<=n;++i) {
  printf("%s,",mem[a[i]])
 }
 for(i=1;i<=n;++i) {
  printf("%s,",cpu[a[i]])
 }
 printf("\n")
}'

Let's run through it with an interval of 10 seconds for 4 samples. If you have 3 zones in this machine, the output will look like this

./zstat.sh 10 4
mem/global,mem/zone1,mem/zone2,mem/zone3,cpu/global,cpu/zone2,cpu/zone3,
3.2,1.2,1.0,1.0,23.0,5.0,7.0,9.0,2.0,
4.7,1.5,1.7,1.5,31.0,15.0,6.0,9.0,1.0,
11.0,5.7,2.3,3.0,40.0,5.0,22.0,13.0,5.0,
13.2,7.2,4.0,2.0,34.0,5.0,17.0,10.0,7.0,
I ran this script in my machines with 67 zones and imported the CSV into openoffice, here is the sample output:
