Connector Activation Criteria

The Oracle/Sun Solaris - Environment (prtpicl) 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/ls /usr/sbin/prtpicl
  • Output contains: ^/usr/sbin/prtpicl$ (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: /usr/sbin/prtpicl -v -c temperature-sensor;/usr/sbin/prtpicl -v -c temperature-indicator
  • Output contains: \(Temperature[ ]+[0-9]\)\|\(Condition[ ]+[A-Za-z]\) (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: PRTPICLCOUNT=pgrep prtpicl|wc -l ; if /bin/test $PRTPICLCOUNT -lt 30; then echo MSHW_prtld_OK; else echo $PRTPICLCOUNT prtpicl processes running - suspect prtld service failure; fi
  • Output contains: MSHW_prtld_OK (regex)
