  • 1.  IBM i Sensors question

    Posted Mon August 18, 2025 12:13 PM

    Hello everyone.

    I'm reviewing the information regarding supporting sensors on IBM i and came across with the one called "OS Process" and when I follow the link it brings back information that somehow seems related to Linux, my question is, do anyone know what kind of information this sensor gathers on an IBM i partition?

    Thanks

    Hello,
    process sensor is a common one and its enabled by default. When the agent is installed, it discovers all the running processes on the host.

    If there are any process arguments or environment variables, it also collects those. So on Instana, you can check the environment details of the processes too.

    for other details:
