AIX Monitor
Introduction
AIX monitoring refers to the process of observing and managing the performance, health, and utilization of a IBM AIX operating system environment. AIX is a Unix-based operating system developed by IBM. Effective monitoring helps administrators identify and address potential issues, optimize system resources, and ensure the smooth operation of IBM AIX-based systems
Getting Started
Compatibility
vuSmartMaps supports the monitoring of your IBM AIX operating system's various components including hardware, software, network, and applications.
Data Collection Method
vuSmartMaps collects health and performance data for IBM AIX server using VuNet's Java Based Health agent. This agent collects data based on the source configuration.
Prerequisites
Inputs for Configuring Data Source
- Host: The IP Address/FQDN of the IBM AIX server. This field is the key to identify each server you add here.
- Interval [in seconds]: How frequently data is gathered. period should be between 60 seconds - 3000 seconds.
Firewall Requirement
To collect data from this O11ySource, ensure the following ports are opened:
| Source IP | Destination IP | Destination Port | Protocol | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IP address of the IBM AIX server | vuSmartMaps Data Collector End Point | 9092* | TCP | Inbound |
*Before providing the firewall requirements, please update the port based on the customer environment.
Configuring the Target
VuNet's health agent should be installed and running in the IBM AIX server.
Configuration Steps
Enablethe IBM AIX O11ySource.- Select the Sources tab and press the
+button to add a new IBM AIX host to be monitored. - Add the required details and then click on
Next. - The following packages will be available for download based on the OS:vuHealthagent full installer package - Downloads the full vuHealthagent package with required configurations for a fresh installationvuHealthagent config update package - Downloads the agent configuration package to update an existing vuHealthagent installation
- Download the agent installation or update package, then click Finish to close the data source window.
