DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework for the Solaris Operating Environment. DTrace provides a powerful infrastructure to permit administrators, developers, and service personnel to concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behaviour of the operating system and user programs. Course Durations is 3-Days.

ps, prstat, uptime, vmstat, mpstat, iostat, sar,
netstat, nicstat, kstat, ndd, checkcable, cpustat,
trapstat, truss, sotruss, apptrace, psio, prex,
tnfxtract/tnfdump, adb, mdb
Introduction to DTrace and its possibilities
Using dtrace on the command line
DTrace oneliners: tracing and aggregating
The DTrace mentality: hints for getting started
DAY 2
The 'D' language: its structures and programming possibilities
Examples of programming in 'D'
DTrace recipies: the DTraceToolkit
More DTrace mentality: tricks for fast results
DAY 3
" The DTrace Utility:
The DTrace utility, in the Solaris 10 OS, is one of the most interesting monitoring tools ever made available in a commercial operating system.
With its own D programming language, the DTrace utility can be used to monitor just about all system and application activity on the system.
