eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by ZoneResourceTest

This test monitors the CPU and memory usage of each zone (including Global zone) of a Solaris virtual server. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Num_processes Number of processes currently executing on this zone Number  
Cpu_util Percentage of CPU used by all the processes executing on this zone Percent A very high value could indicate the existence of one/more CPU-intensive processes. Using the detailed diagnosis of this measure, you can quickly and accurately identify the top-10 processes that are consuming CPU excessively.
Mem_util Percentage of memory utilized by the processes executing on this zone Percent A sudden increase in memory utilization for processes may be indicative of memory leaks in the application.
Total_size The total virtual memory size of mappings within the processes executing on the zone MB  
Resident_size The resident set size of the processes executing on the zone - i.e., the amount of physical memory mapped into the processes MB
