Key concepts

PATROL for Solaris provides monitoring of your Solaris hosts, enabling you to determine the health of your Solaris hosts. It provides current and historical information through a centralized console so you can easily view and manage your entire Solaris environments. You can drill down to view detailed system metrics for all parts of your environment. PATROL also can take corrective action when things go wrong or are about to go wrong preventing downtime and its cost to your business.
