Monitoring a single process in solaris
Hi All,
I need help to monitor a single process in solaris to identify if it leaks memory or is using up too much system resources. I need to collect data over a period of time and plot graph for that single process

I tried using SAR & GNOME-perfmeter but both of them give me performance metrics for all processes running on the OS. There is no way I can use them to monitor a single process

vmstat & iostat give a cumulative output in one shot for the entire system, not process specific

I tried "prstat -L -p <processid> 30 > /tmp/sample.out", so that every 30 seconds sample are collected and written to sample.out file. But the disadvantage is that it does not have timestamp for us to know when a problem occured, if there is a memory leak.

Prstat seems the best as of now from my investigation, but it has no timestamp to be able to plot graph for the statistics collected. Can you please suggest if there are any more similar tools to monitor a single process over a period of time for memory leaks?
Thanks in advance for your support

Regards,
Jayana

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
