There is almost zero chance of the output format being comparable.

You know it works when there are graphs with data in :)

Hi,

• I have copied the unix_agent script and installed via inetd in one

of our test servers with OmniOS operating system,

• Observium side I have enabled unix_agent to the repective server

The script runs, of course does not return all valid values, but I'm trying to replace one by one the commands with Unix counterparts.

Question is how do I check in Observium if what I am doing works?

Thank you!

This is sad, I would help if I can Regards!

We currently have almost zero support for solaris-derrived oses.

Best!

lately we have some huge NFS activity and we would like to have a way to record those things, I tired activating NFS in the server apps, but I have nothing there.

Is there anything more that I need to do?

Thank you!

Hi again, saw that you used check_mk to inspire the uniix agent, and I di found the solaris variant of theyr agent. Put some of the checks in the observium_agent and I get data when telnetting in there. The thing is I cannot tell if the graphs I see are from that data or not, let's say cpu. How can I tell?

Thank you!

Sure, But probably on a longer term we could think of something, I can telnet in there and get info, maybe there are more interested souls as well. Let me know. I can at least test some basic stuff. Thank you!

Thanks for the answer, maybe I cannot express myself, but here is what I did: - installed the linux agent on one of the machines - executed the linux agent and check the result format - installed a modified version of your agent on solaris machine - check the output and it matches on some output with the linux one

I would like to check if the graphs are created using the data from the solaris agent.

I'm not saying you should use their solaris agent, our needs are to monitor some solaris parameters, and since we got this agent working we would like to see graphs. Like a pet project.

Thanks for your support once again. The software is great!

Will not use any data from their solaris agent.
