Description

This connector enables memory modules monitoring for Sun Solaris 8 and 9 SPARC systems. Requires root privileges.

hardware solaris sun

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Superseded Connector

This connector is superseded by:

• CpMgServNT
• HPInsightwbem

Target

Typical platform: Sun/Oracle Servers

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (cediag, cestat)

Technology and protocols: Commands

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

• /opt/SUNWcest/bin/cediag

This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.

Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the metricshub account:

metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/SUNWcest/bin/cediag

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t solaris -c +SunCediag --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /opt/SUNWcest/bin/cediag
