Hello All, I am trying to find or help in scripting a DTrace script that can monitor and report on each guest OS in the VirtualBox. Just like the xvmstat in the opensolaris [/opt/DDT/mem/xvmstat] ideas are welcome. -- ochomo -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
am patiently still waiting for ideas/help. is it a wrong post? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
Hi Zablon, You might try in the VirtualBox forums, and they''ll have the necessary expertise to tell you how you might write such a script.

Hi Adam, Thanks for the advice. I am also working on my own solution, though am not a dtrace expert. -- ochomo -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
I''m not an expert in these areas so I''m not sure how this would work - though I was also wondering about it. It would be an interesting reason for people to become OpenSolaris & VirtualBox customers/users even if they aren''t developing or analyzing applications for Solaris. It seems like the solaris kernel would need to be aware of individual processes in VirtualBox, unless you simply wanted to run a dtrace script on the virtualbox process itself (but this would be limited in many ways other than the fact that you can''t look at individual guest OS processes). Unfortunately, I don''t think VirtualBox exposes process information - I''m guessing this would have to be implemented through the guest additions in an OS specific manner (correct me if I''m wrong). What operating systems are you interested in using as guests in this way? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
