Anyone know anything about monitoring AIX servers?
Hi, We have some AIX boxes that we need to start monitoring. We got the basic SNMP settings in place and are getting the normal things like CPU, Ping, etc. From the defaults, we’re not seeing anything relating to Memory Usage, Network interfaces, or Disk info. I know literally nothing about AIX or where to begin. I can relay anything to our AIX team that I need to about specific settings that might nee to be in place. Is there anything different about monitoring AIX than anything? Are there specific DataPoints I can import to give me more info on AIX systems? Thanks for any help.

Running a Perl script on an AIX box over SSH?
Hi, We have an old monitoring system that we’re trying to decommission and move everything into LM. The current system connects to an AIX server using an SSH Key, and then runs a perl script that’s located in a particular folder. It then takes the output from that script and determines if there’s an alert condition to tell someone about. I need to move this same functionality into LM. I’m assuming the SSH access part shouldn’t be a big deal. I can either manually setup a username/password or I found into on putting a key in LM somewhere and using that. Once LM can connect to the server, can it launch a script file that’s located on the server? I’m not sure if I need to recreate the script inside of LM, or if it can just tell the server to execute the script it already has. If the script runs remotely, can LM then parse the returned data to determine if something is an error or not? If anyone has any tutorials or anything on how I can start working on this, let me know. I don’t know anything about scripting and LM and so far, don’t really know where to start. Thanks!
