Dear Managers,
Thanks for the messages sent. Some said snoop is not a good monitoring
tool for more than 10 minutes since it will eat up the system resources.
Others said under Solaris 9 full patched there is no problem.
After a little of research I found "tcpdump" for Solaris which is part of
the standard distribution of Linux. It's able to use filters to produce
the right output you need to look at and it's able to write to a binary
file in a raw format that won't eat up the system's resources. The
resulting file can be read with "tcpdump" or "ethereal". There are
versions of "ethereal" for windows making easy the reading and
interpretation of the resulting file. TCP/IP knowledge is highly
recommended.
About the hanging of the snoop processes that made us to pull the power
cord, there are no clues about it. I have several recommendations after
running the "suncheckup" tool but there's a reluctancy to apply any patch.
Thank you all,
- Andres.
