ifstat and e1000g Ethernet driver

The problem is not about active interfaces but about the name "e1000g0". It will not be taked into account for creating a rrd file. This means there is no ifstat.e1000g0.rrd and therefore no "Network Traffic" graph in the trends.

I've adjusted our hobbitclient-sunos.sh script.  Since that command only
works in the global zone (solaris 10 or higher), at the top I have:

ZONE="global"
if [ -x "/bin/zonename" ] ; then
   ZONE=`/bin/zonename`
fi

Then where the kstat command is I have this, which only shows the active
inferfaces on the global zone.  For below solaris 10 it will consider it
a global zone and it works there too: (the LINE= is suppose to be all 1
line).

if [ "${ZONE}" = "global" ] ; then
   echo "[ifstat]"
   LINE=`/sbin/ifconfig -a | /bin/egrep RUNNING | /bin/awk -F':'
'{printf $1"\n"}' | /bin/sort -u | /bin/awk '{printf $1"|"}'`
   /usr/bin/kstat -p -s '[or]bytes64' | sort | egrep "${LINE}"
   #/usr/bin/kstat -p -s '[or]bytes64' | sort
fi

Hi,

The solaris regular expression in hobbitd/rrd/do_ifstat.c (Hobbit 4.2.0)
does not work for the "e1000g" Ethernet driver found on certain Sparc T2000
system.


Output of the command for ifstat:
