I recently experimented a little with Linux for SPARC(more here https:\/\/oss.oracle.com\/projects\/linux-sparc\/) and found it to be surprisingly stable. One of the environments I support is a pure OVM for SPARC environment and no luxury of Linux. So I am running some open source tools like Nagios, HAproxy etc on Solaris. Nagios has worked ok but is painful to compile. There are also some bugs that cause high utilization.<\/p>\n
I tried a Linux for SPARC instance and since they are pretty much like RedHat\/Oracle\/CentOS it means a fair bit of packages already exist. Nagios does not exist so I compiled it. Suffice to say installing dependencies from YUM and compiling was a breeze compared to Solaris.<\/p>\n
You can pretty much follow this doc to the letter:

Things to note.<\/strong> 2. If you have permission issues in the web frontend or something like Internal server error you can disable(quick test) and then configure selinux for nagios scripts.<\/p>\n 3. Redo plugins with openssl for https checks. I wanted to do https checks.<\/p>\n I made a https command as follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n And referenced as follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n I recently experimented a little with Linux for SPARC(more here https:\/\/oss.oracle.com\/projects\/linux-sparc\/) and found it to be surprisingly stable.
