All of these are simple kstats. For fsstat data you will likely want to wrap it a bit to expose based on the filesystem name rather than fs_id. The primary reason I suggest a kstat passthrough is that I'm pushing to get more ZFS data available via kstat... but if the MIB even was a wrapper around select kstats, it could be implemented in such a way that addition of additional data would be straight forward to anyone who had a specific need. > I have an initial stab at a MIB that I wrote up Friday I could post > this week (for discussion) if you think that would be useful, but I > didn't want to get too deep into implementation for the discussion. > I would love to participate in this where I can. I've spent a lot of time working with Net-SNMP but I admit that I've never really figured out how to implement a MIB. If you've got a working model I'd be extremely interested in filling in my learning gap. I am curious though, if this became a project would it not be best a project of the Observability Community? benr. _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
