OpenSolaris

The OpenSolaris DTrace Chime Project delivers a GUI for DTrace aggregations giving you the ability to visually display system data over time including moving averages. The GUI provides wizards for easily adding custom data displays, without re-compiling.

  » The most recent installable Chime package was released on October 21, 2008.

The DTrace Chime project is endorsed by the OpenSolaris DTrace Group and uses some of the most popular one-liners from the DTraceToolkit, a collection of useful documented scripts developed by the OpenSolaris DTrace community.
