• HPInsightwbem
• SunHwMon

This connector supersedes:

• IpmiTool

Target

Typical platform: Oracle/Sun

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

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

Technology and protocols: System Commands

Examples

hws HOSTNAME -t solaris -f SunPrtpicl --ssh -u USER

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: solaris
  selectedConnectors: [ SunPrtpicl ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  ssh:
    username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials

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
• 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)
