IBM AIX - Common

Connector file name: MS_HW_IBMAIX.hdf

This connector is superseded by:

Description

Provides hardware status information (processors, memory modules, network interfaces) on IBM AIX systems.

Target

Typical platform: IBM POWER

Operating system: IBM AIX

Prerequisites

Leverages: IBM AIX system commands (lsdev, entstat, etc.)

Technology and protocols: System Commands

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

  • /usr/sbin/netstat -D

This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.

Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the patrol account:

patrol ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/netstat -D

Connector Activation Criteria

The IBM AIX - Common 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: /usr/bin/ls /usr/sbin/lsdev
    • Output contains: ^/usr/sbin/lsdev$ (regex)
