prstat, and in later version of Solaris there is also cputrack and cpustat .. 7/M.mAbrante at 2007-7-6 20:20:25 >

you can use mpstat to get individual load on each processor and vmstat to report cumulative outputRajeshPS at 2007-7-6 20:20:25 >

dimm_stat is really good at reporting all of those metrics (because you will see differences reported between prstat/mpstat/sar). It's free, but has some installation overhead. It does graphs and time-slice things.SunSSE at 2007-7-6 20:20:25 >

You could set up sar which will log stats so you can look for peaks and trends.wrightrp at 2007-7-6 20:20:25 >

Just to amuse yourself run sar and mpstat and prstat/top against the same time-slice on a multi-proc machine. I think you'll be surprised at how inaccurate sar is.Some portions of Solaris are very old and don't get updated. sar appears to be one of them.SunSSE at 2007-7-6 20:20:25 >
