ifstat and e1000g Ethernet driver

Found the problem, tested and fixed it on our Hobbit install.  In the
do_ifstat.c file, change:

static const char *ifstat_solaris_exprs[] = {
        "^[a-z]+:\\d+:([a-z0-9]+):obytes64\\s+(\\d+)",
        "^[a-z]+:\\d+:([a-z0-9]+):rbytes64\\s+(\\d+)"
};

To this:

static const char *ifstat_solaris_exprs[] = {
        "^[a-z0-9]+:\\d+:([a-z0-9]+):obytes64\\s+(\\d+)",
        "^[a-z0-9]+:\\d+:([a-z0-9]+):rbytes64\\s+(\\d+)"
};


The problem is that, before hand all interfaces only had letters in them
as the base, "dmfe", "ce", "eri", "ge", "hme", etc...  The T2000 has
some even with "ipge", this works.  The "e1000g" does not.  The change
above allows the interface now to have letters and numbers in it.  You
just need to recompile and re-install.


Any way this code change can get into the base?  I didn't bother
providing a diff as it's quite a minor change.  This just affects the
ifstat_solaris_exprs.

Thanks.

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:
