Solaris Zone Process Group Monitoring

SystemEDGE monitors a process group in a Solaris Zone, if the flag 0x8000 (Solaris Zone process) and the variable pgmonRegExpr are set accordingly. The variable pgmonRegExpr specifies a regular expression with format ZoneRegExpr/ProcRegExpr. For compatibility reasons the variable pgmonZoneRegExpr is still available, but allows modification only if the monitor was not initialized from sysedge.cf with the 0x8000 flag.

The variable pgmonProcNameList is available on all platforms. If Solaris Zones are monitored, this variable contains a space delimited list of values with the format MatchedZoneName/MatchedProcessName. If Solaris Zones monitoring is not required or not possible (non-Solaris 10 OS), the variable contains a space delimited list of matched process names.

When you want to monitor a process group in Solaris Zones, use the watch process directive with flag 0x8000 and a regular expression with format ZoneRegExpr/ProcRegExpr.

During the upgrade procedure all watch zone procgroup directives are translated to the new format.

SystemEDGE sends the value of pgmonProcNameList in all process monitor related traps.
