Zabbix 1.6 and some Solaris performance

[suntechneg]

Hi All!

Older versions of Zabbix agent did not provide full information about CPU load or provided some incorrect values. I'm not sure, but probably HDD I/O values were also incorrect.

Do anybody have some update about these issues if they are fixed in 1.6?

Thanks in advance,

S

I have seen it and have not found something specific about Solaris-related fixes. I have also checked already manual, do not see any changes related for example to Solaris CPU loads... So, my last hope was to get some user experience about these issues.

For a moment it looks like these issues are still not resolved...

Thanks a lot in any case.

I am using Zabbix 1.6 and 1.6.1 on Several Platform of Solaris(5.9/5.10 on sparc/i386) for immigration from my monitoring system.

Monitoring 'Processor load' in Solaris template provides good value as far as I check.

HDD I/O checker, vfs.dev.XXX, works fine too. But items of this are not defined in defalut template.
So you should regster items into hosts or template.
for example;

---
Description: vfs.dev.read[$1,$2] (* free to change)
Type: ZABBIX agent
Key: vfs.dev.read[sd0,bytes]
Type of info.: Numeric[float]
Units: bytes/s
User multipluer: Do not use
...
Store Value: Delta (speed/second)
---

Needing simple bytes of delta, change units and param 'Store value' as 'Delta( simple change)'.

You also set the key 'vfs.dev.write', change device name parameter like 'sdX' (Cf. result of `iostat -x` or `kstat -c disk`) and type to 'operations'.
