Solaris Observability

✨ Features

Germain monitors the uptime and performance of Solaris servers. To access this information, Germain UX utilizes either Germain UX Engines or Germain UX Agents, which establish SSH connections to the monitored Solaris systems at regular intervals and execute a set of predefined commands. By collecting data such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk utilization, network statistics, and other system metrics, Germain UX provides insights into the performance and availability of Solaris servers. This monitoring capability helps identify potential issues, optimize resource utilization, and ensure the smooth operation of Solaris-based environments.

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.
