System Data Recorder

Monitoring the IT infrastructure is an important key to ensure your business continuity and prepare for future grow. SDR is a simple toolkit, containing a number of data collectors, used to record and report data from your Solaris servers. SDR is mainly designed around Solaris operating system due kernel statistics interface but it can be easily expanded to other OSes. Solaris operating environment has already many utilities to debug and observe the entire system or certain individual processes. Third parties software applications can be installed to monitor the system or the applications: BMC Patrol, TeamQuest, Tivoli, Sitescope, Nagios, etc. In this case we are interested in observing and recording: the utilisation of certain resources: cpu, memory, disk, network the saturation of these resources All these numbers will help us in developing a simple capacity planning setup for our site.
