Solaris Zone Process Monitoring

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

The variable pmonProcName is available on all platforms. If a Solaris Zone is monitored, this variable has the format MatchedZoneName/MatchedProcessName. If Solaris Zones monitoring is not required or not possible (non-Solaris 10 OS), the variable contains MatchedProcessName only.

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

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

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