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 settings.


       This daemon is started automatically by the  zone  management  software
       and  should  not be invoked directly. It does not constitute a program-
       ming 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 function properly. The zones-
       tat service in each NGZ does not directly read system configuration and
       utilization  data,  but  rather  reads from the zonestat service on the
       global zone.


       For the solaris-kz brand, the zonestat service is entirely separate.

NOTES
       The  zonestat  service  is  managed by the service management facility,
       smf(5), under the service identifier:

         svc:/system/zones-monitoring:default




       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 uti-
       lization. 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 facility. If  not
       already   enabled,  it  enables  the  tracking  of  process  accounting
       resources, and configures a process accounting file. The zonestat  ser-
       vice  will  roll  the process accounting log at its configured interval
       (see zonestat(1)).


       If extended process accounting is enabled externally, the zonestat ser-
       vice  will  use  the  process accounting log as configured. It will not
       roll the accounting log, but will operate correctly if  the  accounting
       log is rolled externally.
