While your computer is running, counters in the operating system are incremented to track various system activities.
System activities that are tracked are as follows:
Central processing unit (CPU) utilization
Buffer usage
Disk and tape input/output (I/O) activity
Terminal device activity
System call activity
Context switching
File access
Queue activity
Kernel tables
Interprocess communication
Paging
Free memory and swap space
Kernel memory allocation (KMA)
The Oracle Solaris software provides several tools to help you track how your system is performing.
