IBM AIX - Environment (uesensor) Enterprise

Description

This connector provides hardware environment information on IBM AIX systems (temperature sensors, voltage sensors, fans, power supplies).

This connector is superseded by:

aix[3] hardware[4] ibm[5]

Target

Typical platform: IBM POWER

Operating system: IBM AIX

Prerequisites

Leverages: IBM AIX system commands (uesensor)

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t aix -c +IBMAIXUeSensor --ssh -u USER

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: aix
        connectors: [ +IBMAIXUeSensor ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          ssh:
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt

Connector Activation Criteria

The IBM AIX - Environment (uesensor) connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:
