OmniOS Emulex oceN driver: IO is always 0 bytes

[CeeEss]

agentd returns octets (bytes) in/out for any other type of interface: ixgbe, igb, bnx under OmniOS (Illumos/Solaris offshoot), but always returns 0 for Emulex oceN devices Device path is exactly as would be for the Intel interfaces (;dev/oce0, /dev/oce1, /dev/ixgbe0, etc)).

Item key, type agent, is: net.if.in[oce0,bytes]

> zabbix_get -s myhost -k"net.if.in[oce0,bytes]"
0

> zabbix_get -s otherhost -k"net.if.out[ixgbe0,bytes]"

Solaris specific code in agent is using kstat(3) interface so please try to check first what returns command

kstat -p link:0:oce0:*bytes*

If in output of this command you will see zeroes as well it will mean that this driver has incorrectly implemented exposing network driver metrics over kstat() KAPI.

Aha ....

kstat -p link:0ce0:*bytes*

link:0ce0bytes 0
link:0ce0bytes64 0
link:0ce0:rbytes 0
link:0ce0:rbytes64 0

Thank you, kloczek!
