Hi team,

 

Just asking a very old question, did any one tested any type of custom integrations for ingesting server infra metrics running SOLARIS OS on legacy systems?

There is a plugin from the extension team to gather solaris metrics.

Hello @richard_guerra & @pahofmann 

Were you satisfied/or got the desired results with the SUN Solaris OS metrics using this extension?

Regards,

Babar

Hello Babar,

 

Sorry, I haven't used this extension. Our Solaris hosts all have the Java hence we're using the Java OneAgent.

Hello @richard_guerra 

We are also using OneAgent to monitor the Apache/Java/WebSphere etc. I was curious to know the benefits of using this extension on top of the existing PaaS monitoring.

Babar

Hello @richard_guerra 

Thank you for your reply.

On a Solaris machine, the generic Unix one produces a Total CPU_Used% metric and FreeSpace% per Disk.
Im not finding any Total Memory_Used% metric, on any setting (Solaris, generic, HP, ...) or any version (for RHEL 7 or 8).

So only a couple of key Infra metrics work.

You should always use the most applicable OS as that is what determines which commands are executed and what the expected command output is. A common cause for missing metrics is the relevant commands not being found/on the path.

If you haven't, check the troubleshooting guide: https://www.dynatrace.com/hub/detail/remote-linux-monitoring/#troubleshooting

The other possibility is something is unexpected in the output of some commands and that would need to be identified and handled. A support case is best in these situations so that the output can be communicated.

The logs should tell pretty clearly which scenario it is.

@richard_guerra @pahofmann  Thankyou both for the help, I knew this might already exist however didn't searched for it as I was unable to find similar question in the open community. Just though we post this type of question where users might be searching any thread for 😉
