HP-UX supported items

[bobrivers]

Hi,

Since zabbix agent for HP-UX is pretty basic, does anyone got lucky on "extending" it, by using UserParameters?

Rigth now I'm trying to monitor LAN0 parameters. For instance, in order to monitor lan0 colisions, I'm using:

UserParameter=net.colision,netstat -i | grep lan0 | awk '{print $9}' 

It's working well, but I'm unable to figure out how to monitor lan0 traffic.

netstat -i only gives I/O in termos of packets. Sice I'm not a HP-UX man, I'm stucked...

Any advice?

TIA & happy new year,

Bob

Bob -

Try this. Add these paramaters to your zabbix_agentd.conf file and restart the agent:
This will give you bytes in, bytes out, errors in, errors out and collisions.

# kpi.net.if.in[dev] where
#  status on server = [ lan0, lo0, ce0, e1000g0 ]
#  to determine status on other machines, type 'netstat -i' for list of devs

UserParameter=kpi.net.if.in[*],/usr/bin/netstat -i | grep $1 | awk '{ print $$5}'
UserParameter=kpi.net.if.inerr[*],/usr/bin/netstat -i | grep $1 | awk '{ print $$6}'
UserParameter=kpi.net.if.out[*],/usr/bin/netstat -i | grep $1 | awk '{ print $$7}'
UserParameter=kpi.net.if.outerr[*],/usr/bin/netstat -i | grep $1 | awk '{ print $$8}'
UserParameter=kpi.net.if.collision[*],/usr/bin/netstat -i | grep $1 | awk '{ print $$9}'

Then you will need to create the items in Zabbix GUI. (Note that the multiplier may be wrong. They may have updated this to work correctly since I last created this item)
