Is Prometheus/Grafana works on Sun-Solaris Operating System too

[Rajendra Samala]

Hi,

I am yet to install Promethues for network monitoring, in download I haven't found the .zip for any Sun-Solaris Operating System too.

We don't include Solaris in the official builds (https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/.promu.yml#L25-L48), but Go in general supports Solaris for amd64 (not Sparc). Not sure why we don't build for Solaris, but you could try building it yourself on Solaris to see if it works.

There were build issues with our old logging library and Solaris at one point.

Hi Julius & Brain,

Thanks for the response, so  I can download amd64 (not Sparc) and check for the feasibility what I understood from you.

What kind of configuration (i.e. RAM size, number of Cores, Storage) is required to monitor the infra with having an inventory (230 Physical Servers , 500 Virtual Machines , 70 DB Instances , 350 NW Devices, 5500 End users , 160 Office Locations ).

Please do guide for the same.

You can't use any of our official builds, because they are not for Solaris. You'll need to try and build Prometheus yourself for GOOS=solaris and GOARCH=amd64.

You'll probably want multiple Prometheus servers for that (and as close as possible to each location), but it's hard to give exact guidelines around numbers like this because it depends mostly on the number of time series that you are scraping, not the number of targets. Here's one example of what Jack Neely managed to achieve on a big Prometheus server in terms of RAM, time series, and sample ingestion rate: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/prometheus-users/GWeOKPNhZkg

Hi,

Could you help me, why I am not able to find the download of  'node_exporter' under OS - Windows.

Rajendra Samala 

[Julius Volz]

Hi,

The Node Exporter is mainly for Unix / Linux systems and wouldn't produce too much useful output on Windows.

For Windows, use the WMI Exporter instead: https://github.com/martinlindhe/wmi_exporter

Cheers,

Julius

Hi Julius,

Thanks and appreciate your swift response, as I understood that I can use wmi_exporter instead of node_exporter  for WINDOWS.

Is this (i.e. wmi_exporter) works as same node_exporter...?, please guide, as I need to install and start measuring the metrics for two servers. on WINDOWS-OS

 

Rajendra Samala.

[Julius Volz]

Hi,

The WMI exporter exposes a different set of metrics that are specific to Windows (see the README.md of the project). I have never used it though. I would recommend just installing it and looking at the available metrics on its /metrics HTTP endpoint. Note that some metrics collectors are disabled by default in the WMI exporter, but the most common ones should be there by default.

Cheers,

Julius

Hi Julius,

Thanks for your suggestions and HELP, will get back to you soon, if I do need any guidance from you.

THANKS ONCE AGAIN..... :)

Hi Julius,

Is Prometheus supports Oracle, MySql or any other DataBase or its having its own-database.

[von Neudeck, Nicolai]

Hi Rajendra,



Is has its own DB included in the server binary. But you can integrate third-party remote storage.

Please look into the docs for further details:

https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/

https://prometheus.io/docs/operating/integrations/#remote-endpoints-and-storage



Have a nice day,

Hi Team,

Need your expertise to know for the following are monitored by Prometheus, if Yes then how and where do I find the required exports.

• Physical Servers, 
  
• Virtual Machines, 
  
• DataBase Instances (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, MySQL, Postgress) 
  
• Network Devices, 

Rajendra Samala.

[Alexander Golikov]

Hello,

I also have to monitor Oracle SPARC Solaris Servers. 

Now they are monitored by my own nagios plugins written on shell. But we are trying to switch from them to another monitoring system.

I discovered that Prometheus Python library supports SPARC Solaris, also SPARC Solaris supports Python psutil library (I recommend you to compile psutils via pip and not install via 'pkg install' due to errors regurding network devices in repo version)

I succeed to write my own Python exporter for SPARC Solaris like node_exporter for linux.

[Malaka Fernando]

Hello Alexander Golikov;

Is there any way you could share the Solaris sparc exporters you build. 

Kind regards

Mal

[Farid]

Hello Malaka,

You may check it on author's GitHub page:

https://github.com/n27051538/solaris_exporter

[Shuai Shao]

At present, does Prometheus have an exporter service that directly monitors Sybase System. Can you install it? Please help me, thank you
