Kernel-table monitoring

I have one or two Alphas around here, running 3.2c and 4.0 (they're a bit of
a niche-market item where I am). On other Unix kit I have means of monitoring
the occupancy of various kernel tables (specifically file, inode, process and
lock tables and swap occupancy) which I do automatically against alarm levels
with a Perl script or two. In some circumstances, of course, these aren't
meaningful (file and inode tables on Solaris 2.late, for example). I've
looked around my Alphas, and while I can find elements of what looks like
SysV-style system accounting, I can't locate `sar'.

Is there something on these machines I haven't found yet that will do this, or
a 3rd-party/PD solution (like HP-UX's `dmon') that I someone could point me at?

Thanks for any hints,

Sam.
