Oracle/Sun Solaris - Fault Manager - Memory and CPU

Description

This connector parses fmadm faulty command output looking for faulty memory modules.

hardware solaris sun

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Superseded Connector

This connector is superseded by:

• CpMgServNT
• HPInsightwbem
• SunHwMon

Target

Typical platform: Sun/Oracle Servers

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (fmadm)

Technology and protocols: Commands

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

• /usr/sbin/fmadm

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: /usr/sbin/fmadm

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t solaris -c +SunFmadm --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /usr/sbin/fmadm

          host.type: solaris
        connectors: [ +SunFmadm ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:

Connector Activation Criteria

The Oracle/Sun Solaris - Fault Manager - Memory and CPU connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• The device type must be one of: SunOS, Solaris
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: /bin/uname -r
  • Output contains: 5\.1[0-9] (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: /usr/sbin/fmadm faulty;/usr/bin/echo errorlevel $?
  • Output contains: ^errorlevel 0$ (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: /usr/sbin/fmadm config | grep cpumem
  • Output contains: active (regex)
