IBM AIX - CHRP Environment
Connector file name: MS_HW_IBMAIXChrpMachstat.hdf
This connector is superseded by:
Description
Provides hardware environment information (temperature sensors, voltage sensors, fans, power supplies) on IBM CHRP-based AIX systems.
Target
Typical platform: IBM POWER
Operating system: IBM AIX
Prerequisites
Leverages: IBM AIX system commands (machstat)
Technology and protocols: System Commands
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the commands below:
/usr/sbin/machstat
/usr/sbin/bootinfo
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 commands listed above.
Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above commands to be run as root by the patrol account:
patrol ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/machstat patrol ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bootinfo
Connector Activation Criteria
The IBM AIX - CHRP Environment 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/sbin/bootinfo -p
- Output contains:
^chrp$
(regex)
- Command:
