    Are there any plans to add Prometheus exporters to the Linux toolbox?

    Hi Charles,

    I am not sure IBM will do it. It will require a lot of changes in the code of the Node Exporter, which doesn't support any AIX-specific metrics as for now.

    If you want to integrate your AIX into Prometheus monitoring, the best way imho is to use Nigel's njmon and telegraf agent to produce "Prometheus-compatible" output. It will deliver much more output as you can expect from the Node Exporter.

    This is the link to Nigel's description - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/nimon-working-prometheus

    Telegraf for AIX can be found here - https://www.power-devops.com/telegraf

    Hi, 

    Basti here from the prometheus team.

    AIX Support was added to node_exporter a while ago, but it was cumbersome to get it compiled.

    I started building AIX binaries for node_exporter from version 1.11.0 (curretly at 1.11.1 -> https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/tag/v1.11.1) on and am looking in how to get this into toolbox as well. If somebody could let me know where to start (supply a SPEC file?) i'm more then happy to work on that.

    As of now it is not in our list and no future plans to add that to toolbox.

     

    Thanks,

    Has anyone tested this?

    GitHub - thorhs/node_exporter_aix: Prometheus node_exporter clone for AIX servers, written in C++ utilizing libperfstat
