The basic tactics for monitoring HP-UX and Solaris systems will be
substantially similar to monitoring a Linux system. Solaris 10 ships
with a version of NET-SNMP, so instrumenting that via SNMP is a snap.
HP-UX may be a bit different (the most recent version I have floating
around is 10, adn I built NET-SNMP for that) but, in general, you
should be able to get thigns running.
You may want to either find packages for IRPE/NRPE or to build that
facility from scratch for the hosts you wish to monitor. Much of that
has to do with precisely how you wish to craft the probes. Persoanlly,
I have had excellent luck with using SNMP for most of the basics, and
NET-SNMP's prTable and dskTable OID trees are definitely your friend.
Other probes, e.g. to check a web-server, will be identical to the
Linux probes as they're talking a well-defined protocol over the net-
work to the target server.
Cheers.
