SE Toolkit

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SE Toolkit is now being offered exclusively on sunfreeware.com. Further, the package now includes the source code for the first time. SE Toolkit 3.4 supports Solaris 8, 9, and 10 on SPARC and x86. 
The package can be downloaded from RICHPse.gz 

Installation is slightly different than the packages on sunfreeware.com. To install, download the file to some directory on your machine. Then run 

gunzip RICHPse.gz 

Then, as root user, do 

pkgadd -d RICHPse 

The software installs in the /opt/RICHPse directory. During installation you will notice some important information that you should note down. Further, make sure you read the documentation in the /opt/RICHPse/doc directory. The SUNWsprot package must also be installed to use the SE Toolkit. 

Details on the uses of SE Toolkit and its source code will be posted here in the near future. 

Send comments and questions to steve at smc.vnet.net and they will be forwarded to the author.

Mike Peterson sent me a note that the SE toolkit version 3.4 is now 
available for free for download from

http://www.sunfreeware.com/setoolkit.html

This version supports Solaris 8, 9, and 10 on SPARC and x86.  I haven't 
looked, but supposedly, source code for the SE toolkit is also available.

If people need older versions of SE, versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1, 3.3 
and 3.3.1, let me know.

Regards,
Blair

Do you have any code you could add to Orca's subversion repository so 
that other people could start to use it?

I've heard great things about DTrace, but only from Sun people.  Is it 
as great of a tool as I've heard?

Blair

Unfortunately no, I was still working on getting the dtrace basics down so
I could code it.

It can do amazing things, the trick is (of course) learning how to apply
it to your situation.  The interesting thing is that DTrace probably does
almost everything SE Toolkit did in terms of monitoring and more, since it
has tens of thousands of probes.

There's a really good DTrace tutorial and reference guide over on
BigAdmin, this is where I was learning from.

I hope someone can run with this, it seems very doable to me from the
exposure I've had to DTrace and SE Toolkit.

Can someone tell what happened with the SEtoolkit ?  For a period of 
what seems like 10 seconds, the SEtoolkit was available *exclusively* 
from some software company in Maine I believe.  Something with Moose in 
the company name.

Now its *exclusively* available on www.sunfreeware.com and the 
www.setoolkit.com DNS domain is no longer operational.

P.S.  The source isn't available just yet apparently on sunfreeware.com. 
  Apparently, its coming.

Yeah, strange...

It looks a lot like the source is in the package - from a quick check
it seems to compile and run (trivially) on Solaris 9 Sparc:

bash-2.05$ ./bin/se.sparcv9  -version
se - Version 3.4 (08:05 AM 01/07/05) for sparcv9
