One of the most developer- and sysadmin-friendly tools in Solaris is
DTrace (dynamic tracing framework), enabling one to troubleshoot or
observe the system's behavior and performance in real-time. However,
I'm not sure if Sun's CDDL is BSD-friendly, and how feasible is it to
implement.
Having a free and full-disclosure OS of good reputation on security
with simplified X-ray vision-like perspective/monitoring of the system
performance for the developers and especially administrators
would/should be the killer-app!
How can one conduct similiar functionality without resorting to
porting DTrace? Please provide me pointers how to get similar results
with simplicity to get rid of DTrace-envy :)
Thank you very much!
