15.Dt ZONESTATD 8
16.Os
17.Sh NAME
18.Nm zonestatd
19.Nd zones monitoring daemon
20.Sh SYNOPSIS
21.Nm /usr/lib/zones/zonestatd
22.Sh DESCRIPTION
23.Nm
24is a system daemon that is started during system boot.
25It monitors the utilization of system resources by zones, as well
26as zone and system configuration information such as psrset psets,
27pool psets, and resource control settings.
28.Pp
29This daemon is started automatically by the zone management
30software and should not be invoked directly.
31It does not constitute a programming interface, but is classified as a
32private interface.
33.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
34The zonestat service is managed by the service management
35facility,
36.Xr smf 7 ,
37under the service identifier:
38.Pp
39.D1 svc:/system/zones-monitoring:default
40.Pp
41Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
42requesting restart, can be performed using
43.Xr svcadm 8 .
44The service's status can be queried using the
45.Xr svcs 1
46command.
47.Pp
48The zonestat service has the following SMF configuration property:
49.Bd -ragged -offset indent
50config/sample_interval
51.Pp
52This property sets the
53.Nm
54sample interval.
55This is the interval used by the zones monitoring daemon,
56.Nm
57to sample resource utilization.
58This is also the interval used to determine configuration changes such as
59processor set changes, resource control changes, and zone state changes.
60.Pp
61The default interval is 5 seconds.
62.Ed
63.Pp
64The zonestat service makes use of extended accounting facility.
65If not already enabled, it enables the tracking of process accounting
66resources, and configures a process accounting file.
67The zonestat service will roll the process accounting log at its configured
68interval.
69.Pp
70If extended process accounting is enabled externally, the zonestat
71service will use the process accounting log as configured.
72It will not roll the accounting log, but will operate correctly if
73the accounting log is rolled externally.
74.Sh INTERFACE STABILITY
75.Sy Private
76.Sh SECURITY
77The zonestat service in the global zone must be online for the zonestat
78service in each non-global zone (NGZ) to function properly.
79The zonestat service in each NGZ does not directly read system configuration
80and utilization data, but rather reads from the zonestat service on the
81global zone.
