Oracle/Sun Solaris - Network Enterprise
Description
This connector enables hardware monitoring for network cards on all Sun Solaris systems.
This connector is superseded by:
- CpqNICiLO[2]
- SunHwMon[3]
- MIB2Solaris[4]
Target
Typical platform: Oracle/Sun
Operating system: Oracle Solaris
Prerequisites
Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (kstat, ndd, ifconfig, dladm, etc.)
Technology and protocols: Command Lines
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the commands below:
/usr/sbin/ndd
/usr/sbin/dladm
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 commands listed above.
Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above commands to be run as root by the metricshub account:
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/ndd
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/dladm
Examples
CLI
metricshub HOSTNAME -t solaris -c +SunNetwork --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /usr/sbin/ndd,/usr/sbin/dladm
