Zabbix agent package for Solaris 10

Posted on September 10th, 2010

Hi there!
We are going to create zabbix agent package and use it for installing large number of zabbix clients.
First, download the source package, unpack it and install to some location.
Let’s suppose the location would be /soft/build/zabbix-agent

gunzip -cd zabbix-1.8.3.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd zabbix-1.8.3
./configure --enable-agent --disable-server --prefix=/soft/build/zabbix-agent
make && make install

Now, copy Zabbix Solaris 10 package source files somewhere, for example to /soft/build/pkgsrc and execute make from there.

bash-2.05# make
echo "i pkginfo" > prototype
echo "i preinstall" >> prototype
echo "i postinstall" >> prototype
echo "i preremove" >> prototype
echo "i postremove" >> prototype
echo "i request" >> prototype
echo PKG=ZABagent > pkginfo
echo NAME=Zabbix agents >> pkginfo
echo ARCH=sparc >> pkginfo
echo VERSION=1.8.2 >> pkginfo
echo CATEGORY=system >> pkginfo
echo BASEDIR=/usr/local >> pkginfo
echo PSTAMP=\"`date '+%m/%d/%Y'`\" >> pkginfo
echo ZABBIX_SERVERS= >> pkginfo
echo SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=false >> pkginfo
echo SUNW_PKG_THISZONE=true >> pkginfo
pkgproto /soft/build/zabbix-agent=/usr/local >> prototype
pkgmk -o -b /usr/local -r /

## Packaging complete.
pkgtrans /var/spool/pkg  Zabbix-agent-sol10-sparc.pkg ZABagent

bash-2.05#

The package will be sitting in /var/spool/pkg. It made zone aware by defining 2 variables in pkginfo file:

SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=false
SUNW_PKG_THISZONE=true

And will be installed only in zone you are running pkgadd from.

Install it. Example log output follows:

bash-3.00# pkgadd -d /var/tmp/Zabbix-agent-sol10-sparc.pkg 
 
The following packages are available:
  1  ZABagent     Zabbix agents
                  (sparc) 1.8.2

Package will create smf service and start it automatically. Check this out.

bash-3.00# svcs -a | grep zab
online         12:54:10 svc:/application/zabbix-agent:default
bash-3.00#

Next, we are going to automate installation process to avoid asking questions completely. We will use pkgask(1) command for that. First, we create response file which we can use later for automated install.

bash-3.00# pkgask -r /tmp/zab.ask -d /var/tmp/Zabbix-agent-sol10-sparc.pkg 
 
The following packages are available:
  1  ZABagent     Zabbix agents
                  (sparc) 1.8.2

Response file  was created.
 
Processing of request script was successful.

Next, create admin file. Copy sample from default to say /tmp and edit it.

cp /var/sadm/install/admin/default /tmp/zab.admin
vi !$

Make it not to ask anything. For example like this:

ail=
instance=unique
partial=ask
runlevel=ask
idepend=ask
rdepend=ask
space=ask
setuid=nocheck
conflict=nocheck
action=nocheck
networktimeout=60
networkretries=3
authentication=quit
keystore=/var/sadm/security
proxy=
basedir=default

And, finally, install the package using admin file and response file we just created.

bash-3.00# pkgadd -d /var/tmp/Zabbix-agent-sol10-sparc.pkg -r /tmp/zab.ask -a /tmp/zab.admin all

As you can see no questions was asked at all. So you can use the procedure to do mass installs of the package. You could also download Zabbix Solaris 10 binary package

made using using this instructions.

Creating Net-SNMP 5.5 package for Solaris 10

Posted on July 6th, 2010

Recently I’ve discovered a bug in net-snmp version 5.4, which I’ve downloaded from sunfreeware. So as there was no most recent version of net-snmp package I’ve decided to build it myself.
First, unpack the source, configure and install it into some location, for example in this case it will be
/soft/build/net-snmp/sparc

gunzip -cd net-snmp-5.5.tar.gz | tar xf -
./configure --prefix=/soft/build/net-snmp/sparc/usr/local \
--execprefix=/soft/build/net-snmp/sparc/usr/local
make
make install

Create smf starter script

#!/bin/sh
. /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh
 
# Start processes required for snmpd
 
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/snmpd ]; then
  /usr/local/sbin/snmpd
else
  echo "snmpd is missing or not executable."
  exit $SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG
fi
 
exit $SMF_EXIT_OK

and place it in there too

mkdir -p /soft/build/net-snmp/sparc/lib/svc/method
cp svc-net-snmp /soft/build/net-snmp/sparc/lib/svc/method

Next, create some dir and place these file into it

Makefile
depend
postinstall
preremove

svccfg import /tmp/snmp.xml
svcadm enable net-snmp
rm /tmp/snmp.xml

preremove:

svcadm disable -s net-snmp
svccfg delete net-snmp

Next, make the package.
