TALK DESCRIPTIONS:

Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris Performance, Observability and Debugging
(The Abridged Version)

The observability toolbox in Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris is loaded with
powerful tools and utilities for analyzing applications and the underlying
system. Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace), allows you to connect the dots
between the process and thread-centric tools, and the system utilization
tools, and get a complete picture on what your applications are doing, how they
are interacting with the kernel, and to what extent they are consuming
hardware resources (CPU, Mem, etc).

This two hour talk walks through the tools, utilities and methods for
analyzing workloads on your Solaris systems.
