Features

Germain monitors Uptime and Performance of Solaris servers. In order to access this information, a Germain UX Engine(s) or Germain UX Agent(s) establishes an SSH connection to the monitored system periodically and execute a series of commands:

Command

/usr/sbin/prtconf

/usr/bin/vmstat 1 4

vmstat 1 4

vmstat 1 4

df -lk

iostat –d –x

/bin/netstat -i -f inet

kstat -p '::phys:*bytes64' 1 2

kstat -p unix:0:system_misc:boot_time

ps –A

Each of these commands can be individually configured and also disabled, if for some reason it is undesirable to collect any one of the OS metrics.
