Re: [Bigsister-general] No status from interface on solaris 9

[suppressed]

Hi Folks,
        I thought I should reply to this as it relates to an old post of 
mine!

The problem is that the network test does not work for 
features=local,solaris but you can get what you want by running it as a 
remote test. What you need to do is run the network test for your solaris 
host from a different uxmon where the solaris host will be described with 
features=solaris,remote (and using its real name!). So if, for example, 
you have 2 solaris hosts, they can monitor each other's network 
interfaces.

Hope this helps,

Hello all,
 
 
 I have the same problem getting a status from the network interface on 
 solaris 9.
 
 The lamp is always purple, not showing any interface.
 
 
 According the list suggestion, I configured uxmon-net file as following 
 lines:
 
 
 # Information about defined systems to monitor using DESCR command.
 #
 # KEYWORD       SYSTEM FEATURES                         Apply To HOST
 #---------      --------------------------              ------------
 DESCR           features=unix,solaris,sysv              solhost
 DESCR           features=unix,solaris,sysv              localhost
 # DESCR         features=unix,linux                     someotherhost
 
 # Run the following tests.
 # Note: host1(host2) is reported under host2
 # Note: host can be an IP address
 # Report Host   Health Test List
 #------------   -----------------------------------
 localhost       load memory cpuload
 localhost       disk diskload
 localhost       syslog
 localhost       proc=inetd procs    proc=sshd procs
 localhost       users
 solhost         network
 
 When I tried to start BisSister, I got unresolvable error.
 
 Please help.

 Starting Big Sister ...
   Agent uxmon                                       OK

 The lamp is always purple, not showing any interface. On Linux, it works 
 fine
 btw. with just 'localhost network' in uxmon-net
