So I have about 10 HP Unix boxes in my environment and using SNMP I cannot see volumes only network interfaces. What other options do I have for monitoring disk utilization? I do have APM avaliable to me if I have to go with a component.
This might have cut down version of Unix not providing the information for Volumes. Further to in order to confirm please use the SNMP Mib Walk.
SolarWinds SNMP Walk: A new tool for collecting SNMP MIB walks - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
and find out the OID for Volume usage if your Node provides .
Once you have the OID for Volume can Create Universal Device Poller to get the Status from your Volume on Node details.

Here is what i have from my Linux box to confirm that i can see the Volume details .
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.1 = String: "Memory Buffers"
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.2 = String: "Real Memory"
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.3 = String: "Swap Space"
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.4 = String: "/"
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.5 = String: "/boot"
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.6 = String: "/var/log"
I have tried the SNMPWalk and it fails every time after scanning about 10000 OIDs with the following error. Value was either too large or too small for an Int 32.
I have tried scanning that particular OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3. area manually with the UnDP and none of that table are supported by the devices.
I dont see the OID here i think you may need to ask vendor if this supported in this version .

Can you try following to confirm you have statistics in UDP ?
Time Process started.
if device has no support we cant do much in this case.
Ok so if there isn't any way from SNMP is there a way to accomplish with scripts?
Ok to clarify I can pull the OIDs associated with this URL which give me the filesystem and the Free Blocks. Can that be used somehow to extrapolate the file space available?

These are all valid OIDs I can pull
The snmpd agent that comes with HPUX doesn't expose the host resource mib at all.
The quickest solution to this problem is to install the HP freeware bundle called
HP-UX Internet Express for HP-UX 11i v2
from
h20392.www2.hp.com/.../displayProductInfo.do
You can select just the net-snmp portion of the bundle while in swinstall.
Once installed, you can either:
I suggest option 2 as there are HP dependencies that may break if you disable the stock agent.
If you aren't an HPUX admin person and don't have an HPUX admin in-house, I can step you thru the process. Its not too painless if you know HPUX.
The only downfall I've found with running the second agent is if you use discovery, the stock agent is found on port 161 and the volumes, processes and other host-resource goodies don't show up until you edit the discovered node, change the snmp port to 1161 and search for resources.

Once installed, you can either:disable the stock snmpd agent and enable the net-snmp agentreconfig the net-snmp agent to listen on a different port (1161 for example) and then run both in parallel.I suggest option 2 as there are HP dependencies that may break if you disable the stock agent.
Chris,
I have a UNIX admin making these changes...What is needed to do option 2. Can you provide the steps.
This is one method:
Option 2:
you should now be able to snmpwalk -v1 -ccommunity hostname:1161 and find the host resources.
Then edit the properties of the device in Orion and change the snmp port from 161 to 1161 and then list the resource.
