What errors are you getting when trying to build sigar outside of Splunk?
Yes, I'm trying to add that app actually, and I can't build sigar, so can't "Make sure you've correctly built the python bindings for SIGAR"
Sorry, reading my question back now I realised I hadn't mentioned that. Looks like a useful app, but I simply can't build the python binding - the Java builds fine, I'm using Centos5...
