IBM AIX - CHRP Environment Enterprise
Description
This connector provides hardware environment information on IBM CHRP-based AIX systems (temperature sensors, voltage sensors, fans, power supplies).
This connector is superseded by:
- IBMVIOS[2]
Target
Typical platform: IBM POWER
Operating system: IBM AIX
Prerequisites
Leverages: IBM AIX system commands (machstat)
Technology and protocols: Command Lines
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the commands below:
/usr/sbin/bootinfo
/usr/sbin/machstat
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 commands listed above.
Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above commands to be run as root by the metricshub account:
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bootinfo
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/machstat
Examples
CLI
metricshub HOSTNAME -t aix -c +IBMAIXChrpMachstat --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /usr/sbin/bootinfo,/usr/sbin/machstat
