Configuring cacti for Solaris clients

Post by cactiusr1024 »

Hello,

I've been successfull in configuring cacti for Red Hat Enterprise Linux clients, but I'm having trouble configuring cacti for Solaris (8,9, & 10) clients.

If I use the graph templates "Unix - Load Average", "Unix - Logged in Users", "Unix - Ping Latency" and "Unix - Processes", everything works.

However if I use the "ucd" series of graph templates - "ucd 00 CPU Linux", "ucd 01 Load Average", "ucd 10 Memory", "ucd 11 Swap", etc., all the graphs are blank (nan values or 0 values).

Does anyone have any clues as to why I'm having this problem. My understanding (from reading this forum) is that the "ucd" graph templates should world for Solaris as well as Linux. Is this correct? If so, are any special modifications required on the Solaris machine?

Hi

what SNMP agent are you running on the Solaris boxes ?
Net-SNMP ?

Hi,

No, I'm not running "net-snmp". I'm just running the standard version of snmp which comes with Solaris and which is started by the command:

/etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx start

My understanding is that "net-snmp" is a free software / open source package and that I would have to install it (and its prerequisites) on all my Solaris clients if it's necessary. That would take a fair chunk of time and so I'm hoping the package isn't required.

But maybe there's no getting around it. Do you think the package is necessary?
