[hobbit] Monitoring Solaris 10 virtual machines

[Ward, Martin]

It depends on what you want to monitor.

Most of the zone can be monitored from a Hobbit client running on the container itself. Processes in the zone are still visible in the container, disk space can be monitored from there too.

If you have limited the resources available to that zone then you would want to run a Hobbit client inside it (tying an interface to a zone needs to be monitored this way for example).

Solaris 10 has a virtualization capability which is the ability to 
create so called zones, that effectively act like independent machines. 

What is the best way to monitor those virtual machines?
