Description

Provides memory modules monitoring on Sun Solaris 8 and 9 SPARC systems. Requires root privileges.

Connector ID: SunCediag

This connector is superseded by:

• CpMgServNT
• HPInsightwbem

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 hwsagent account:

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

Examples

hws HOSTNAME -t solaris -f SunCediag --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /opt/SUNWcest/bin/cediag

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: solaris
  selectedConnectors: [ SunCediag ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  ssh:
    username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
    password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using hws-encrypt
    useSudo: true
    useSudoCommands: [ "/opt/SUNWcest/bin/cediag" ]
