Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I can see agent for Linux and Windows, but nothing to sent netflow to Nagios NetWork Analyser, but I found nothing for AIX and Solaris.
Is there a way to have AIX and Solaris integrated to Nagios NetWork Analyser?

Solaris frobe NNA:

I found this for Solaris:

https://www.opencsw.org/packages/fprobe/

I had to format it like this to make it work:

/opt/csw/sbin/fprobe -i /dev/net/net0 X.X.X.X:YYYY

To make it start on boot, I did this:
I do not have access to any AIX systems. You may be able to compile fprobe/sflow on AIX but that's outside the scope of our support, you would need to work with your AIX admins/AIX support/developers of the flow agent you are compiling if you need help on that.

I found this 3rd party agent that may work for you:
https://github.com/sflow/host-sflow

Thanks, it's work with Solaris.
Not tested yet in my lab environnement since I don't have AIX. I planed to do it soon in dev.

With sflow, Obivously I suppose I need to used sflow when I create the source in NA? Does it have about the same information as netflow? Is it limited?

Yes, you would choose sflow in there.

Since we aren't AIX admins here, you may want to reach out to yours and see if they know of any netflow/sflow agents for AIX, they may know of something. We don't have access to AIX here in support.

I found this that gives a good explanation:

Thank you for the information. You can close this ticket.
