There's already a Linux Agent in the works for SAM that addresses most of the limitations associated with Agentless monitoring of Linux hosts. What about an Agent that addressed the same/similar limitations for the Solaris SPARC operating system?
What would it take to get this agent included in the next release of SAM?
Too bad more of SolarWinds isn't open sourced so that the talented Thwack community could help develop some of these needed features. I would think that might be something that would drive more customers to using SolarWinds, away from Nagios and the like.
We need a Solaris agent badly!
I'm thinking this might be a good vote and bumbsquad FR.
bump
We no longer use SNMP service. So we need an agent.
I am in favor of this vote. I hope that agent will be provided soon.

Do you mind sharing how many Solaris servers you have in your environment that you would use this type of feature for?

Hiya Bill, how many servers do you have in your environment that are Solaris?
Have the same issue.
No longer using SNMP, and have 19+ servers we need to monitor.
We're pulling away from SNMP and switching to the SolarWinds Agent for all our Linux/Unix servers.
We have 200 Oracle SOlaris sparc servers not able to monitor through SolarWind Agent
We have over 500 Solaris Servers needing an Agent based monitoring solution. May be forced to look elsewhere.
We failed the bid because solarwinds did not support agent for solaris.
bumping this up and asking to include HPUX as well.
Has this been updated? Using the script templates don't provide us the information we need to monitor over 250 solaris servers.
