Understanding mpstat and vmstat output with DTrace


I have been playing with DTrace now for 4 - 5 months, and have created numerous notes to help me remember the probes that can be used to understand vmstat and mpstat output. To ease life in the future (finding this stuff at 3am when a “situation” arises is a pain), I wrote a DTrace mpstat and vmstat cookbook titled Understanding mpstat and vmstat with DTrace. Hope folks find this useful.
