IBM AIX - sissasraidmgr Disk Controllers Enterprise
Description
This connector enables hardware monitoring for RAID controllers in IBM AIX servers through the syssasraidmgr command line utility.
Target
Typical platform: IBM POWER
Operating system: IBM AIX
Prerequisites
Leverages: sissasraidmgr managed RAID card
Technology and protocols: Command Lines
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:
/usr/bin/sissasraidmgr
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/bin/sissasraidmgr
Examples
CLI
metricshub HOSTNAME -t aix -c +IBMAIXSissasraidmgr --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /usr/bin/sissasraidmgr
