Description

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

hardware^[2] solaris^[3] sun^[4]

Target

Typical platform: Any system with mpathadm

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Solaris Mpathadm utility

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

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

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

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: solaris
        connectors: [ +SunMpathadm ] # 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/mpathadm" ]

Connector Activation Criteria

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

• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: /usr/sbin/mpathadm list lu
  • Output contains: /dev/rdsk (regex)
