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This connector is superseded by: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
