[hobbit] mpstat and zonestat monitors

[Tim McCloskey]

You could probably write something simple to do this.  Our zones are on 
a zfs slice so disk space monitoring can look odd.  Also, hobbit uses 
top and other commands that do not always report correct info from 
within a zone.  For example, if you have capped-memory rctl's set top 
will incorrectly report the data inside a zone.

I guess it depends on what you want to monitor.  A quick hack up based 
on prstat may help.  Example;
  foo at global_zone:~  prstat -mvaL -z childzone1

Know this does not help much, but it really is a topic worth discussing. 
  Solaris 10 with ZFS, Zones, FSS and other cool tools is nice platform.

Regards,

Tim
