IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC)

This connector monitors the overall health of IBM AIX servers through the Hardware Management Console (HMC). It reports the status of the System Attention LED and triggers an alert if a hardware problem has been reported on each system since 0:00am.

This connector should be installed on a separate system to monitor the IBM AIX systems connected to a Hardware Management Console (HMC) by connecting to the HMC system. Please note that this connector requires root privileges and that the monitoring of the HMC itself needs to be configured with this connector.
