Is there a Solaris 10 agent for Nagios XI? If not is there a place to get the source so I can compile for Solaris 10?

"Maybe".
We
think the Linux agent will compile and work on Solaris, but this has not yet been tested. The document describing how to get the source for the Linux Agent is available at
http://bit.ly/cDJdJQ . It will take some doing to install it, but we would love to hear how it goes, any tips you have for others, etc.

instead of using agent, i use snmp for solaris CPU load and Memory+Swap monitoring, by enabling solaris sma, and using available check snmp for cpu and memory. so far it runs OK, although need a bit tweak on check_snmp_mem.

Aessem,
Is this something we could make a Wizard for? If you could provide the information needed this is something I'm sure would be created. Listing of the OIDs and perhaps a MIB file. Example thresholds, ect, ect.
I also wonder if using SNMP Traps could be used to catch things like spikes in memory usage?

Yes, definitely, since i have created my own wizard. solaris use sma facilities, which use net-snmp, so default check from nagios plugin runs ok with small tweak.
I haven't try SNMP Traps yet, In my case, the ideas is to have historical of system metrics of CPU and memory usage for problem analysis, and XI has done the job very well so far... great job XI team!
