What Does the Oracle: Solaris Monitoring PowerPack Monitor?

The Oracle: Solaris Monitoring PowerPack includes:

• Dynamic Applications to collect configuration and performance data about Oracle Solaris systems

• Device Classes for each of the Oracle devices monitored:
• A Device Template for aligning Oracle Solaris Dynamic Applications
• A Run Book Automation policy and Run Book Action for classifying Oracle Solaris devices
• A sample Credential for discovering Oracle Solaris devices
• Event Policies and corresponding alerts that are triggered when Oracle Solaris devices meet certain status criteria

Installing the Oracle: Solaris Monitoring PowerPack

Before completing the steps in this section, you must import and install the latest version of the Oracle: Solaris Monitoring PowerPack.

By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack overwrites all content from a previous version of that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent new PowerPacks from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields. For more information, see the section on Global Settings.

Ensure that you are running version 12.1.2 or later of SL1 before installing this PowerPack. For details on upgrading SL1, see the relevant SL1 Platform Release Notes.

To download and install the PowerPack:

1. Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page (Product Downloads > PowerPacks & SyncPacks) at the ScienceLogic Support Site.
2. In SL1, go to the PowerPacks page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
3. Click the Actions button and choose Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack dialog box appears.
4. Click [Browse] and navigate to the PowerPack file from step 1.
5. Select the PowerPack file and click Import. The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
6. Click Install. The PowerPack is added to the PowerPacks page.

If you exit the PowerPack Installer modal without installing the imported PowerPack, the imported PowerPack will not appear in the PowerPacks page. However, the imported PowerPack will appear in the Imported PowerPacks modal. This page appears when you click the Actions menu and select Install PowerPack.
