Description

This connector enables memory modules monitoring for Sun Solaris 8 and 9 SPARC systems. Requires root privileges.

Connector file name: MS_HW_SunCediag.hdf

This connector is superseded by:

• MS_HW_HPInsightwbem.hdf
• MS_HW_CpMgServNT.hdf

Target

Typical platform: Oracle/Sun

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (cediag, cestat)

Technology and protocols: System Commands

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

• /opt/SUNWcest/bin/cediag

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 patrol account:

patrol ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/SUNWcest/bin/cediag
