[Check_mk (english)] CheckMK does not display services for Solaris Node

Archive checkmk-en
1

Hi,

I installed check_mk agent on a Solaris node, and I am able to see a full output when I telnet localhost.

The node is also successfully integrated to the check_mk monitoring tool.

However, when I run cmk –I from the check_mk monitoring node, there is no output.

And from the monitoring tool, nothing but 2 services : Check_MK Discovery (state OK) and PING (state WARN) are displayed.

The error message (Status detail) for PING is “(No output on stdout) stderr: Traceback (most recent call last):”.

How do I start to troubleshoot? And how do I resolve this error?

Regards,

Aigini

You can make the output for the service discovery more verbose by
running cmk -vvvI --debug.

Also, what version of Check_MK are you running? And what version of the
Check_MK agent?

Hello Evy,

This is the output I get from the debug command :

[root@L28falcon agents]# cmk -vvvI --debug L17pvs2a
Discovering services on L17pvs2a:
L17pvs2a:
Connecting via TCP to 10.97.129.87:6556.
  nothing new

[root@L28falcon agents]#

And the version of check_mk tool is the same as the check_mk agent, which is
1.2.6p5.

Regards,
Aigini

I am not sure if the information below will help, but when I run the
commands below, it prompts with some message :'

# inetconv
inetconv: Notice: Service manifest for 100235/1 already generated as
/var/svc/manifest/network/rpc/100235_1-rpc_ticotsord.xml, skipped
inetconv: Notice: Service manifest for check_mk already generated as
/var/svc/manifest/network/check_mk-tcp.xml, skipped

# inetconv -e
svc:/network/rpc-100235_1/rpc_ticotsord:default enabled
svc:/network/check_mk/tcp:default enabled

···

Could it be a concern?

Can you telnet from check_mk host and see output ?
$ telnet 6556

Hi Evy,

These are the only ones listed :

<<<solaris_multipath>>>,<<<tcp_conn_stats>>>,<<>>,<<>>,<<<zpool_status>>>,<<>>,<<>>,<<<zfs_arc_cache>>>,<<>>,<<>>.

Now I can see some services displaying on the monitoring tool, like Check_MK, Check_MK Discovery, CPU Load, Filesystem /, Filesystem /libc/libc.so.1, NTP Time, Number of threads, TCP Connections, Uptime.

Why does it not display the rest of the services?

Regards,

Aigini

In that case, you’ve set up check_mk agent correctly on your solaris servers.

How much output does the telnet command give you?

More specifically, wat sections does the agent list? A section is ‘<<>>’, where name can be check_mk, cpu, memory etc.

Hi Aigini,

Assuming that you don't have any zpools configured and don't use
multipathing, the services listed in your screenshot may very well be
all that can be checked, based on you current agent output.

Are there any specific services you would like to monitor?

Regards,

Evy

I believe if you install libstatgrab you may get some additional information (disk, cpu, ram, possibly network IIRC).
