What would be the best way to monitor a service's memory/load on the OpenSolaris platform so that one can send alerts and automate service management (restarts, etc) based on "rules"?

On the linux platform I use Monit, but since OpenSolaris has SMF I thought there may be a complimentary service "built-in" if SMF doesn't have those features and I'd prefer to use a standard OpenSolaris app if there is one.

Monit works fine on OpenSolaris: no reason not to use that if you're familiar with it.

SMF is good at stopping and starting services and managing dependencies - AFAIK it can't do things like "restart this service if it's using more than X RAM" like monit can...
