This section describes how to use the "Oracle: Solaris Monitoring" PowerPack to monitor Oracle Solaris devices in Skylar One.

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 Oracle device that the PowerPack monitors
  • A device template for aligning Oracle Solaris Dynamic Applications
  • A run book automation policy and action for classifying Oracle Solaris devices
  • A sample credential for discovering Oracle Solaris devices
  • Event policies and corresponding alerts that trigger when Oracle Solaris devices meet certain status criteria

Installing the Oracle: Solaris Monitoring PowerPack

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

By default, when you install a new version of a PowerPack, it overwrites all content from that PowerPack that is already installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting on the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent the new version of the PowerPack from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields.

For details on upgrading Skylar One, see the relevant Skylar One Platform Release Notes.

To download and install the PowerPack:

  1. Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page at the ScienceLogic Support Center (Skylar One > PowerPacks, login required).
  2. In Skylar One, go to the PowerPacks page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
  3. Click the Actions menu and select Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack modal appears.
  4. Click Browse and go 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 appears on the PowerPacks page.

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