Description

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

This connector is superseded by:

• SunHwMon^[2]
• CpMgServNT^[3]
• HPInsightwbem^[4]

Target

Typical platform: Oracle/Sun

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (fmadm)

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

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

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

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: solaris
        selectConnectors: [ SunFmadm ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          ssh:
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt
            useSudo: true
            useSudoCommands: [ "/usr/sbin/fmadm" ]

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:

• Operating System is Oracle Solaris or Oracle 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)
