Forgive me, where do I find 'interstat' ?

Also, where can I get Sun::Solaris::Kstat for prustat?


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ 2:32pm 146 # perl -MCPAN -e 'install Sun::Solaris::Kstat'

 Fetching with LWP:
  ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/modules/03modlist.data.gz
Going to read /export/home/fcocquyt/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz
Going to write /export/home/fcocquyt/.cpan/Metadata
Warning: Cannot install Sun::Solaris::Kstat, don't know what it is.
Try the command

    i /Sun::Solaris::Kstat/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

Solaris:: is only supported on Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6 & 2.7
Running make test

The system is so busy DTrace has decided to play it safe and abort...

Based on a few hunches, try these:

- interstat 1
        look for a network driver burning CPU

- pidpersec.d from the DTraceToolkit
        (or "sar -c 1 100" if DTrace won't behave)
        look for lots of short lived processes

- "procsystime -coT" from the DTraceToolkit
        look for frequent syscalls burning CPU time

- dtrace -n 'profile-101 { @[stack(5)] = count(); }'
        (this has a slower profile rate than hotuser)
        look for hot kernel stacks
