No. An architecture that doesn't (yet) support the CPU HAL should still be able to build the basic agent, etc. It's just the CPU-related modules that won't work - everything else should be fine. > BTW, is this a new module, or a rewrite replacing an existing module? The CPU HAL module is (basically) new. The 'ucd-snmp/vmstat' and 'host/hr_proc' modules that use this mechanism are replacements. > A rewrite that silently 'returns nothing' when there is existing, working > code for the module would be a bad thing. Agreed. That's why I've spent a fair bit of time writing versions of the CPU HAL module for *all* of the current vmstat_* architectures. Take a look. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this work. I'm not in a position to actually test all of these systems, so there may well be minor syntax errors, etc waiting in the wings. But I'm reasonably confident that the code is basically correct as per the appropriate documentation. I realise that the latest 'hardware/cpu.h' file doesn't activate all of these architectures, but that shouldn't be too difficult to fix. Wes has spent the last umpteen years nagging at me to get stuff committed earlier rather than later. And I'm (finally!) taking some notice of him :-) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
