What you do mean by running through each directory/file individual?
When you run the explorer, it give the details report about your system.
please have a look at:

and Sun explorer FAQ:

Sun Explorer User's Guide:

My work is to look in the explorer file and see, if there is any issue in the system.
example
-check to see for any hardware fault
-Firmware and patch levels
-panic strings
-performance issue
-check to see for any bugs.
-check /var/adm/messages to find any issue.
I had to go through each directory and check to see if can find any issue.
I would like to see if any one created a script to run on explorer to grep certain "strings" to capture
this will make my life much easier.
or if they are any third party known script which i can run on top of it
Please let me know,If you need further clarification

>>Well, there are such programs inside Sun, but I don't know of anything externally. Sorry, I think that you are on your own in this regard.<<
Haven't they made it open-source yet ?
I am struggling hard to find good utilities ..
Well i guess i may have to create one of my own.
Today I found Cediag script its a good script to run on explorer to find ECC errors.
Yuzh
thanks for the links.
interesting to go through.. Should have done long time back
Interestingly i still goggling around to find some good tools
Have came across this one but its not available.
Does any one know if sun changed the product name or discontinued ?

Configuration and Service Tracker is part of the LWACT - Lightweight Availability Data Collector , have a look at
http://www.sun.com/servi
you can download the Services Tools Bundle (click on download now), you need to register to get a login account (free?)
PS: I think it is free, I have my login account for many years, just give it a try.
Good night (my time).
You need to write a script to do the job. If you need help, you can post another question in:
http://www.experts-exch
to see if someone has time to write one for you.
Every thing now a days getting automated.
I guess there are few scripts or tools to run on the system.
I am still hunting. for the correct tools
As yuzh pointed out to write a script.. That is the way to go but it will take long time and long hours.
I am sure there are support provided using similar script which may be available some where.
found one more good link.SUN made it free to use.
i guess Explorer will be EOL soon and will have automated programs instead.

Yuzh
I agree with you.
But
I am not after a script at this point in time. That's the option you have suggested
What i trying to find here is :
Tools and troubleshoot technics to analyze the explorer file
From My point of view . I am Sure
There many IT companies who analyze the explorer apart from SUN.
If not Explorer file don't make sense.. (it only for SUN in other words)
If SUN can analyze the issue , Why can't a user be able to do that..
Hope I am keeping the question in right direction

javeedabdul, as I understand it you want to do an automated health check on a system to look for possible errors but, rather than check the system itself, you're working with the Sun Explorer output? I can see how that would be useful as Explorer is designed to collect information that Sun can analyse to track down a fault when it occurs, without having direct access to the system.
There are plenty of Solaris healthcheck tools out there - I'm sure that yuzh and blu have their own favourites - that are designed to check systems directly but could be adapted to read the Explorer output. I'd start looking on http://www.sun.com/bigadmi
