Description

This connector provides environmental information (temperatures, fans, etc.) on several Sun platforms through the prtpicl utility. This connector is mainly to be used on Solaris 10 systems.

This connector is superseded by:

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

This connector supersedes:

• SunScSnapshot^[5]
• IpmiTool^[6]

Target

Typical platform: Oracle/Sun

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (prtpicl, etc.)

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

Examples

metricshub HOSTNAME -t solaris -c +SunPrtpicl --ssh -u USER

  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:

          host.type: solaris
        selectConnectors: [ SunPrtpicl ] # Optional, to load only this connector

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:

• Operating System is Oracle Solaris or Oracle 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)
