IBM VIO Server Enterprise

Description

This connector provides hardware status information on IBM VIO systems (processors, memory modules, network interfaces, HBAs, physical disks) on IBM VIO systems.

This connector supersedes:

aix[7] hardware[8] ibm[9]

Target

Typical platform: IBM POWER

Operating system: IBM AIX

Prerequisites

Leverages: IBM AIX system commands through the IOS interface (lsdev, entstat, etc.)

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

Examples

CLI

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

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: aix
        connectors: [ +IBMVIOS ] # 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 VIO Server connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

  • Operating System is IBM AIX
  • The command below succeeds on the monitored host
    • Command: ioscli uname -a
    • Output contains: AIX (regex)
