Connectors directory^[1] Full listing of connectors^[2]

Description

Collects system metrics from Aix 6.1 TL9+ hosts and later. It relies on LibPerfStat C library for AIX and AIX commands. Implements the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions for system metrics.

Connector Activation Criteria

The Aix System connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

The command below succeeds on the monitored host
- Command: /usr/bin/uname || /bin/uname
- Output contains: AIX (regex)
