IBM AIX - Common Enterprise
Description
This connector provides hardware status information on IBM AIX systems (processors, memory modules, network interfaces).
This connector is superseded by:
- IBMVIOS[2]
Target
Typical platform: IBM POWER
Operating system: IBM AIX
Prerequisites
Leverages: IBM AIX system commands (lsdev, entstat, etc.)
Technology and protocols: Command Lines
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:
/usr/sbin/netstat -D
This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo
on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.
Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the metricshub account:
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/netstat -D
Examples
CLI
metricshub HOSTNAME -t aix -c +IBMAIX --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /usr/sbin/netstat -D
