For risk-averse organizations using Solaris for their enterprise operating system, our Datadog Solaris Agent enables comprehensive monitoring of your servers. This ensures engineers and admins are able to proactively uncover issues and prevent unnecessary downtime.
Datadog is a great tool for gaining visibility, but it wasn’t designed to monitor legacy infrastructure like Solaris. Legacy systems often have different utilities or file formats for performance metrics, and in some cases, this prevents the Datadog Agent from properly reading these vital metrics. So, our RapDev engineers wrote a Solaris Agent in Perl, which is ubiquitous in older infrastructure.
Monitor Solaris system metrics, process checks, and log tails using Datadog server monitoring. Our Solaris Agent supports Solaris 10 and 11, along with SPARC and i86pc architectures. The agent uses the default Solaris Perl system distribution, which simplifies installation and compatibility with no additional dependencies required.
The Solaris Agent generates the host metadata to support the Datadog Infrastructure List, with the same URLs and ports as the native agents.
Develop data-driven load distribution maps with real-time visibility into server resource utilization such as CPU load, memory usage, and network interface traffic. Apart from proactive monitoring, the Solaris Agent integration also alerts you when critical thresholds for load processing are crossed.
The Solaris Agent for Datadog is developed to monitor organization-wide usage and performance of your Solaris servers. Application and resource managers can monitor health and performance statistics for all servers in real-time to minimize downtimes arising from server-level issues.
