Monitoring Tools and Utilities

Documentation Contents

Each of the monitoring tools comes in a Microsoft Windows version (Windows), a Solaris version, and a Linux version. There is virtually no difference in features between the platform specific versions of these tools. However, there are minor differences in configuration and usage to accommodate the special requirements of each operating system. (For example, the way you specify directory separators depends on the OS.)

The following documents contain important information you will need to know to get the most out of the Monitoring tools.
