Article Comments

The PRTG SSH sensors support Solaris and you can use NetSNMP, to activate some of the snmp sensors, like

  • snmp cpu
  • snmp memory
  • snmp disk free
  • snmp traffic

You can find the instructions, how to install net-snmp on solaris here.

Is this possible to monitor Solaris syslog through the software.

Hi,
as long as the syslogs are exported correctly from the Solaris system you should be able to monitor them using the Syslog Sensor.
Best regards

or

Solaris node need to push data to prtg server

or any another method to add syslog sensor.

Network diagarm.

You will have to set up your Solaris machine to send the syslogs to the PRTG Server and then set up the Syslog Sensor in PRTG. The syslog senor has some limitations as PRTG is not a dedicated syslog server.

The machien running PRTG has to be set up as syslog receiver. For a detailed documentation on how to configure the syslog daemon correctly, please see the man page of the same.
