Which brand of SNMP agent are you running?
At one client, we found that the native HP agent was not publishing file system (hrStorageTable, 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3) and process (hrSWRunTable, 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2) details, and no one on staff knew how to tweak it properly. The HP agent is provided in several services which all must start and run together. They elected to install the Net-SNMP agent instead of using the native HP agent. Since the same team managed UNIX and Linux, and Linux usually comes with Net-SNMP as a native package, this provided them a common agent across platforms (as well as a common snmpd.conf configuration, along with its SNMP access lists ;-) HP offered a pre-compiled binary download of Net-SNMP, but they found it had problems as well. They downloaded Net-SNMP 5.5 source code from sourceforge and compiled it up on each platform (HPUX 11.11, 11.23, and 11.31). There were some oddities when running the Net-SNMP configure script, where they needed to add specific configure flags to make the agents behave. In one case, the process table was published, but empty (no entries). In another case it only listed the swapper process. With their first test of Net-SNMP 5.6 (which is fairly new and is likely NOT supported by CA yet), all the process names returned were missing the first letter! They were able to solve all of these issues with extra configure flags. I'll see if I can dig up details on the Net-SNMP configure flags they needed to include. In the meantime, I recommend installing and using Net-SNMP command line tools from your SpectroServer to check the OIDs I mention above for output. e.g. snmpwalk -v 2c -c SnmpCommunityName hostname.domain.com hrStorageTable If you can get output on the command line, but not in Spectrum, that's a bug of some sort. This is unlikely, but I find that it is always good to validate SNMP communication independent of Spectrum (or any tool).

I tried to discovery it, using model type Host_Compaq, but the running processes table, doesn't show any information. Do you have any idea about how to monitor processes for that type of OS?
