Checking for OS Monitoring Agents

If you tried to install the OS monitoring agents as described in To Add the OS Monitoring Feature and OS monitoring data did not appear, verify that the OS monitoring feature was installed, as follows:

• It can take 5-7 minutes before all OS monitoring data is fully initialized. You may see that CPU idle is at 0.0%, which causes a Failed Critical status with OS usage. This should clear up within 5-7 minutes after adding or upgrading the OS monitoring feature. At that point, OS monitoring data should be available for the provisionable server by using the show server server command.

• Use the grep command and try to see if indeed the agents themselves were successfully installed.

  To verify the Solaris feature, type the following commands:

  # pkginfo |grep n1sm sparc: SUNWn1smsparcag-1-2 solx86: SUNWn1smx86ag-1-2 # ps -ef |grep -i esd root 23817 1 0 19:57:59 ? 0:01 esd - init agent -dir /var/opt/SUNWsymon -q

  To verify the Linux feature, type the following commands:

  # rpm -qa | grep n1sm-linux-agent # ps -ef | grep -i esd root 1940 1 0 Jan28 ? 00:00:14 esd - init agent -dir /var/opt/SUNWsymon -q
