I believe the book you are reading is the 2nd part of Solaris internals. I would say you start from it. I will be quite hard to user DTrace unless one has good knowledge of what is happening behind the scenes.
It is a difficult subject. We had a similar course from Sun, Solaris performance management. Even the instructor left the official Sun book and used slides from the Solaris internals book.

Solaris Performance Monitoring Tools????

Hi, Are there any GUI (preferably web based) Solaris monitoring tools available for the SPARC platform. Just to clarify, when i say GUI, I don't mean buttons to configure the Software, of course that would be a plus, but rather GUI in terms of output, like Graphs. Thanks (6 Replies)

NAME
fasttrap - DTrace user instruction tracing provider DESCRIPTION
The fasttrap driver is a DTrace dynamic tracing provider that performs dynamic instrumentation of arbitrary instructions in Solaris pro- cesses. The fasttrap driver implements the DTrace fasttrap and pid providers. The fasttrap driver is not a public interface and you access instrumentation offered by this provider through DTrace. Refer to the Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes offered by the fasttrap provider. SPARC ONLY
The fasttrap provider provides a DTrace probe that fires each time a user process executes an instruction. The pid provider allows for the dynamic creation of DTrace probes corresponding to instruction locations inside any user process specified using a process ID and an instruction address or symbol name. Together these providers permit DTrace users to perform instrumentation of Solaris user processes and to trace the interactions between processes and the operating system. See the chapter entitled "User Process Tracing" in the Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide for information on how to use these providers to instrument processes. ATTRIBUTES
