I download and install NagiosXI VM to monitor SUN(Sparc) Solaris Server's memory, I tried some plugins but can only monitor cpu & disk, the memory data was empty or error. is there a suggestion plugin?

Did you install the Solaris agent?

Not allowed to install agent, so I use snmp to monitor all servers (Windows & SUN Sparc).

As long as your server has the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB you should be able to use something like this

If you use it you may need to install the following package

Code: Select all

yum install bc -y

^^^^^^^^ what is this package? why should it need to be installed?

bc is "An arbitrary precision calculator language"

the reason you would need to install it (if it isn't already installed) is because it is used by this plugin.

You can test to see if it is already installed by running

I installed this plugin, but it's data seems not correct?! and the performance graph data also not correct?!

which bc

the NagiosXI VM already installed bc. after I install this plugin, the monitored data was not correct, the server's memory is 1.5GB and was running nothing, but the plugin indicate used memory 1.27GB.

This actually sounds pretty normal, most OS's cache items in memory, and the free memory is also reduced by the cached memory..
