Description

This connector enables hardware monitoring for LUNs on all Solaris 10.2 or later systems through the mpathadm utility.

hardware solaris sun

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Target

Typical platform: Sun/Oracle Servers

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Solaris Mpathadm utility

Technology and protocols: Commands

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

• /usr/sbin/mpathadm

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/mpathadm

Examples

CLI

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

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