graphing an AIX 5.1 server????

[Wernicke]

Does anyone know if IBM is planning to fix those snmp daemons? I suddenly got 12 new AIX 5.3 servers, and want to monitor all values(if,cpu,mem,disk) using SNMP.

I personally put in a "engineering request" to have them fix some of the issues and it was closed with "no market value".

Does that translate to buy Tivoli? The IBM guy we've had in several times with the several attempted Tivoli implementations has continuously stated that it is possible for Tivoli to track, for instance, disk usage with no server-side agent or scripts. I'm pretty sure they have an agent though...

I'm after some disk stats, so if I can use/extend these i'll contrib back the scripts and templates. Thanks again!

Did you ever get the disk stats info?

Folks, I'm fairly sure that I am now able to collect disk IO info from an AIX host via SNMP. The problem is that I have NO idea how to create a graph (or any other) template to start using the data. If any of you have an AIX host you can play with, I'll give you all of the information you need to get this working, as best as I can, and perhaps you could return the favor by creating the template?! There is a pretty good how-to on this, but I'm not sure I even have the time to try...

I'll post here of course as well...but we really want this graph!

Hell, I'll even write an AIX how-to...

A part of my issue, of course, is that I'm not exactly sure what I want, of this line: http://www.oidview.com/mibs/2/XMSERVD-PERF-MIB.html

Neat. As I recall, I was able to get net-snmp to compile/run on AIX. I think that I had to run it with the -r option, but that it still functioned.

You could even configure it to run on a non-standard port (say, 9161) and proxy the AIX-specific mib trees to localhost on port 161 to be able to query AIX-specific or net-snmp-specific stuff on the same host:port. Or you could re-config (I assume) the AIX snmp agent to listen on 9161 and have net-snmp listen on 161 and proxy to localhost:9161.

I don't think the ucd-snmp/diskio stuff compiled on AIX, but you can still monitor quite a lot with net-snmp if the native snmp agent proves to be too much of a hassle (or eventually breaks down after the latest bundle of OS patches - grin). I've found I prefer using net-snmp to make (snmp-wise) all my unix machines look as much alike as possible, and if the native snmp agents provide something net-snmp doesn't, I just proxy that part of the MIB tree to the native agent.

thk u for all this stuff on aix.

But can you send me your

nmon template ? for cpu disk etc ?

(memory one works perfectly here

thank you rony! All you done on aix were so perfect!

AIX1.1 template and memory template works perfectly here

Can you send me your

nmon template ? for cpu disk etc ?

Hi

I've made a set of script/data query/graph templates for AIX disks usage :









I'll try to polish it and upload it soon.

Hi fmangeant,

It's really cool! I wanna it. Please up it.

Thank you.
Eiji

so happy to here this!

waitting for your upload~~~

[tracky2007]

hi,fmangeant
Did you upload your template for aixdisk i/o?
Dose it base on net-snmp-5.4.1-AIX?

thank you~~~
