I had a chance to revisit this problem I was having with the netstat rrd
data. I noticed that our Solaris 8 servers are not reporting any of the
following fields "tcpOutDataPackets tcpInInorderPackets tcpInUnorderPackets
tcpRetransPackets". They just don't exist on a "netstat -s" output. Do those
come from some GNU version of netstat?
No, it appears to depend on the Solaris version if those fields are
present or not.
Which Solaris version is supposed to contain those fields then? I've tried
Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 and neither version produce those fields with
netstat. Can I recompile part of the Hobbit server so that it will just not
look for the fields and process what it does get?
