Took the words right out of my mouth. I have the 400+ page "Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide" here ( part number 817-6223-10 ) and it is a super tough read. A slick graphical interface written with OpenGL in mind would really rock with the NVidia framebuffers. I was trying to visualize a 3D data set in which the user wandered from node to node and then could query these nodes for data elements by entering the node. Sort of a spin on the scene from Johnny Mnemonic except with real data. An RPC layer would allow data collection from remote servers/hosts. Then gain .. I was merely thinking of it with my Mark Kilgard OpenGL for X book here in hand.
