Re: Monit no longer reporting swap usage after Solaris patching

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

Is the host which reports error solaris zone? 

Monit uses getvmusage() when running in Solaris zone, otherwise it uses kstat. 
It seems that S11 SRU 12.4 and S10 150400-41 either has some bug or new 
restriction for getvmusage() in zones.

Unfortunately we cannot test it - we have Solaris development license and 
running Solaris 11.3 SRU 1.5 + Solaris 10 U11 with 147147-26 / 147148-26. Is it 
possible to get remote access to some solaris zone running the new kernel?

Best regards,
Martin
