Sun has 3rd party monitoring tools? :) I'm currently of the opinion that Solaris SNMP (SMA) is more of a risk than advantage, and in the context of Zones totally useless. Which is a shame, given that so much work went into the SMA (NetSNMP) cutover. This is why I am for any improvements in its usefulness. > On a side note, does anyone here use webmin on Solaris or OpenSolaris? I'm > curious if that is being maintained and enhanced.
