Dynatrace and Solaris Hardware

SSC_Solaris — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 10:56:40 GMT

Dynatrace is being tested on our standalone Solaris environment and we are getting all the typical metrics being reported, which is great, but is there a way for Dynatrace to monitor hardware failures...ie Fan failures, PS failures and Metadevice (SVM) failures? We used to use Nagios, which worked great for running a script and reporting on the return, OK or Failure.

Thank you.

Hi.
You can try to build your own SNMP extension.
Please check https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/snmp-extension

Hi,

And since you are already have scripts, maybe you can adapt them to ingest OK or KO to Dynatrace via Metrics API - POST ingest data points.

Best regards

Hello @SSC_Solaris

There is another option to submit your request to Extension team to create a dedicated extension that cover current and future monitoring requirements in addition to the applicable solutions provided by @AntonPineiro and @PacoPorro 😊 if there is a development team to build the extension.

Regarding the Metrics API - POST ingest data points:

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/api-metrics-v2-post-datapoints
It's easily configured just follow the suggested Doc URL.

KR,

Peter
