Looks like a ext module need to be writting for hobbit,
and I propose using smf instead svcs(windows used it already).
Regarding point one, an external script seems like the best idea rather
than Henrik maintaining Solaris specific functions in the hobbit client
(unless his to do list is looking a bit thin ;-) )

However I disagree with your second point - if the "svcs" column indicates
service status on Windows, why can't it indicate services on Solaris too?
You're hardly likely to run both Sun and Windows services on the same
(virtual) host, and it keeps the column numbers down on pages that might
show both types of server.

Subject: [hobbit] Solaris 10 service monitoring

Hello -

I'm running into an issue where I need to monitor the individual
services ( svcs -a ) instead of the processes (ps -ef) on multiple
Solaris 10 clients.  I didn't see anything in the man pages about it
(although I may have missed it) so I was wondering if anyone has
been able to set Hobbit up to do so?

Sample output from svcs -a

$ svcs -a |head -20
STATE          STIME    FMRI
legacy_run     Jul_28   lrc:/etc/rcS_d/S00umask_sh
legacy_run     Jul_28   lrc:/etc/rcS_d/S29wrsmcfg
legacy_run     Jul_28   lrc:/etc/rcS_d/S51installupdates
disabled       Jul_28   svc:/system/sysidtool:net
disabled       Jul_28   svc:/system/sysidtool:system
disabled       Jul_28   svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default
disabled       Jul_28   svc:/network/rpc/nisplus:default
disabled       Jul_28   svc:/network/nis/server:default
online         Jul_28   svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
online         Jul_28   svc:/system/zones:default
online         Aug_15   svc:/application/hobbit:default

I need to be able to alarm if zones goes offline or if nisplus goes
online (for example)...

Thanks!
