AIX Open Source

hello, 

we encountered the error below when installing nimon on 7300-01-02-2319.

root:/tmp/njmon_aix_binaries_v81> ./ninstall

Best regards,

Hi,

I do not see an error.

There is a note that a new manual page is not available as this version as it was a beta release. That is not an error.

Run nimon -!

To check the nimon version you have installed and can be found in your $PATH list.

nimon will immediately stop after outputting the version details

Note you are installing an old njmon/nimon version. Version 83 is available from:

https://nmon.sourceforge.io/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Njmon

This was released as a beta version but turned out we found no further bugs so it is a full release now.

See the note on the webpage "Upgraded this release = no longer considered a beta."

Perhaps, I should have released  the same file again without the words "beta" on it. I will do that next time.

Always use the latest version.

I hope this helps, cheers, Nigel

With the new njmon version 85 there is a single binary for AIX 7.2, AIX 7.3 and VIOS3.

- Please, ignore the njmon for AIX72, AIX73 and VIOS3 binary files (njmon_aix72_v85, njmon_aix_73_v85 and njmon_vio2_v85) there are supplied in case we have unexpected problems i.e. emergency use only.  They might be useful if you are running AIX older release like you have not updated them for years, so many TL and SP missing: oslevel -s will tell you what you are running the the year it was released.

In the past it was a special compile for VIOS 3 support due to additional functions in the libperfstat library for VIOS resource stats.

- This njmon for VIOS version would fail to start when running on AIX due to the library mismatches.

In preparing version 85, I found AIX and VIOS3 now have the same library (well done AIX and VIOS developers) and if you are running njmon_aix7_v85 on a AIX the function call for the VIOS stats just return "not available".

This new combined AIX and VIOS binary for njmon_aix7_v85. If running on AIX, it now silently ignores users requesting VIOS resource stats (options -v -u and -U).

- i.e. you request VIOS stats on AIX that is not a VIOS = pretty dumb IMHO but njmon silently works out there are no VIOS resources and just delivers the regular AIX stats.

I don't have a AIX 7.1 to test on but I am confident the single binary njmon_aix7_v835  should run OK there too.

If there is a problem with njmon_aix7_v835  on AIX 7.1 or VIOS 4.0, I would expect it to refuse to start up due to a library mismatch. So, it is very simple to detect.

Just type: njmon_aix7_v85 -!

- this will output the njmon version an stop - but that will prove it found the correct libraries on start up.
If it does not run I will have to ask for access to AIX 7.1 to test and compile a version.

VIOS 4 is just out - this is based on the newer AIX 7.3 release. I am very sure the same one binary njmon_aix7_v85 with run there with no problems.

We all know the VIOS is a regular AIX operating system with some extra packages to provide the VIOS function, right?

- OK there are some other things like the "padmin" user, security items and they might have removed some standard AIX function that the VIOS will never ever use.

I am waiting for some people to run a test or two for AIX 7.1 and VIOS 4.

By the way, AIX 6 and VIOS 2 are history now (no binaries from me). The njmon code still has the compile time flag to support AIX6 that is -D AIX6 (also needed for VIOS2). Users will need to compile their own copies.

I hope this explains some back ground and points out njmon life just got simpler.

Hi,

I do not see an error.

There is a note that a new manual page is not available as this version as it was a beta release. That is not an error.

Run nimon -!

To check the nimon version you have installed and can be found in your $PATH list.

nimon will immediately stop after outputting the version details

Note you are installing an old njmon/nimon version. Version 83 is available from:

https://nmon.sourceforge.io/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Njmon

This was released as a beta version but turned out we found no further bugs so it is a full release now.

See the note on the webpage "Upgraded this release = no longer considered a beta."

Perhaps, I should have released  the same file again without the words "beta" on it. I will do that next time.

Always use the latest version.

I hope this helps, cheers, Nigel

best regards,

With the new njmon version 85 there is a single binary for AIX 7.2, AIX 7.3 and VIOS3.

- Please, ignore the njmon for AIX72, AIX73 and VIOS3 binary files (njmon_aix72_v85, njmon_aix_73_v85 and njmon_vio2_v85) there are supplied in case we have unexpected problems i.e. emergency use only.  They might be useful if you are running AIX older release like you have not updated them for years, so many TL and SP missing: oslevel -s will tell you what you are running the the year it was released.

In the past it was a special compile for VIOS 3 support due to additional functions in the libperfstat library for VIOS resource stats.

- This njmon for VIOS version would fail to start when running on AIX due to the library mismatches.

In preparing version 85, I found AIX and VIOS3 now have the same library (well done AIX and VIOS developers) and if you are running njmon_aix7_v85 on a AIX the function call for the VIOS stats just return "not available".

This new combined AIX and VIOS binary for njmon_aix7_v85. If running on AIX, it now silently ignores users requesting VIOS resource stats (options -v -u and -U).

- i.e. you request VIOS stats on AIX that is not a VIOS = pretty dumb IMHO but njmon silently works out there are no VIOS resources and just delivers the regular AIX stats.

I don't have a AIX 7.1 to test on but I am confident the single binary njmon_aix7_v835  should run OK there too.

If there is a problem with njmon_aix7_v835  on AIX 7.1 or VIOS 4.0, I would expect it to refuse to start up due to a library mismatch. So, it is very simple to detect.

Just type: njmon_aix7_v85 -!

- this will output the njmon version an stop - but that will prove it found the correct libraries on start up.
If it does not run I will have to ask for access to AIX 7.1 to test and compile a version.

VIOS 4 is just out - this is based on the newer AIX 7.3 release. I am very sure the same one binary njmon_aix7_v85 with run there with no problems.

We all know the VIOS is a regular AIX operating system with some extra packages to provide the VIOS function, right?

- OK there are some other things like the "padmin" user, security items and they might have removed some standard AIX function that the VIOS will never ever use.

I am waiting for some people to run a test or two for AIX 7.1 and VIOS 4.

By the way, AIX 6 and VIOS 2 are history now (no binaries from me). The njmon code still has the compile time flag to support AIX6 that is -D AIX6 (also needed for VIOS2). Users will need to compile their own copies.

I hope this explains some back ground and points out njmon life just got simpler.

Good move a recent AIX version.

Just in the last hour or so released a new version njmon for AIX, version 85.

Get it from here https://nmon.sourceforge.io/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Njmon

The "ninstall" should work.

Unzip, then as root user run ./ninstall

Let me know if you have problems

so step by step:

2. remane the file  "njmon_aix73_v83" to nimon: mv njmon_aix73_v83 nimon

3. copy the new nimon file to the location you got from point 1.

Oh, dear!   I recall seeing this before and it was either an old AIX release - due to missing Tl and SP levels.

Or it  was upgraded and the user forgot to reboot the new kernel.

Cat you send me the output from

• oslevel -s
• uptime
• ls -ltr /usr/lib/boot/unix_64

You could add the njmon option -D - this avoids a few libperfstat library function that cause problems
but you will be missing. a few stats: paging, disks, disk-paths, net-buffers.

The error message is saying that the malloc() system call failed but the code has checked the numbers of paths is a positive number.

This suggests to me it is the "forgot to reboot after and upgrade" issue.

Send me the info and if this is not a production server try a reboot and retry.

Cheers, N

Hi,

I do not see an error.

There is a note that a new manual page is not available as this version as it was a beta release. That is not an error.

Run nimon -!

To check the nimon version you have installed and can be found in your $PATH list.

nimon will immediately stop after outputting the version details

Note you are installing an old njmon/nimon version. Version 83 is available from:

https://nmon.sourceforge.io/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Njmon

This was released as a beta version but turned out we found no further bugs so it is a full release now.

See the note on the webpage "Upgraded this release = no longer considered a beta."

Perhaps, I should have released  the same file again without the words "beta" on it. I will do that next time.

Always use the latest version.

I hope this helps, cheers, Nigel

Oh, dear!   I recall seeing this before and it was either an old AIX release - due to missing Tl and SP levels.

Or it  was upgraded and the user forgot to reboot the new kernel.

Cat you send me the output from

• oslevel -s
• uptime
• ls -ltr /usr/lib/boot/unix_64

You could add the njmon option -D - this avoids a few libperfstat library function that cause problems
but you will be missing. a few stats: paging, disks, disk-paths, net-buffers.

The error message is saying that the malloc() system call failed but the code has checked the numbers of paths is a positive number.

This suggests to me it is the "forgot to reboot after and upgrade" issue.

Send me the info and if this is not a production server try a reboot and retry.

Cheers, N

With the new njmon version 85 there is a single binary for AIX 7.2, AIX 7.3 and VIOS3.

- Please, ignore the njmon for AIX72, AIX73 and VIOS3 binary files (njmon_aix72_v85, njmon_aix_73_v85 and njmon_vio2_v85) there are supplied in case we have unexpected problems i.e. emergency use only.  They might be useful if you are running AIX older release like you have not updated them for years, so many TL and SP missing: oslevel -s will tell you what you are running the the year it was released.

In the past it was a special compile for VIOS 3 support due to additional functions in the libperfstat library for VIOS resource stats.

- This njmon for VIOS version would fail to start when running on AIX due to the library mismatches.

In preparing version 85, I found AIX and VIOS3 now have the same library (well done AIX and VIOS developers) and if you are running njmon_aix7_v85 on a AIX the function call for the VIOS stats just return "not available".

This new combined AIX and VIOS binary for njmon_aix7_v85. If running on AIX, it now silently ignores users requesting VIOS resource stats (options -v -u and -U).

I don't have a AIX 7.1 to test on but I am confident the single binary njmon_aix7_v835  should run OK there too.

If there is a problem with njmon_aix7_v835  on AIX 7.1 or VIOS 4.0, I would expect it to refuse to start up due to a library mismatch. So, it is very simple to detect.

- this will output the njmon version an stop - but that will prove it found the correct libraries on start up.
If it does not run I will have to ask for access to AIX 7.1 to test and compile a version.

VIOS 4 is just out - this is based on the newer AIX 7.3 release. I am very sure the same one binary njmon_aix7_v85 with run there with no problems.

We all know the VIOS is a regular AIX operating system with some extra packages to provide the VIOS function, right?

- OK there are some other things like the "padmin" user, security items and they might have removed some standard AIX function that the VIOS will never ever use.

I am waiting for some people to run a test or two for AIX 7.1 and VIOS 4.

By the way, AIX 6 and VIOS 2 are history now (no binaries from me). The njmon code still has the compile time flag to support AIX6 that is -D AIX6 (also needed for VIOS2). Users will need to compile their own copies.

I hope this explains some back ground and points out njmon life just got simpler.

Good move a recent AIX version.

Just in the last hour or so released a new version njmon for AIX, version 85.

Get it from here https://nmon.sourceforge.io/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Njmon

The "ninstall" should work.

Unzip, then as root user run ./ninstall

Let me know if you have problems

Hello Amira,

so step by step:
1. check where the actual nimon version is installed: which nimon

2. remane the file  "njmon_aix73_v83" to nimon: mv njmon_aix73_v83 nimon

3. copy the new nimon file to the location you got from point 1.

This should really be a different post.

Be careful what you wish for!

• There is no plan to add njmon for AIX to be part of AIX nor delivered with AIX.
• nmon was a special case as the source code for AIX was never release to the public. Which made the legal ownership position much simpler.
• nmon was pretty much functionally stable - Actually, I stuffed a load of planned features in to the code at the last minute before handing over the code to AIX development :-) 
• nmon for Linux was made Open Source.

njmon is already open source.

• There is also an issue with it becoming part of AIX.
• In the past few years I have need adding features a couple of times a year. This would not be possible if the code is part of AIX. First, I would have no access to the code and could not add to it - AIX code is strictly controlled.  Second, new versions of njmon would only come out on a yearly basis along with the AIX releases in December.
• For example, I am investigating a problem one customer has with a strange malloc() failure. Once it is fixed in would only get release Dec 2025!
• I still have features to add - first being adding SSL to the socket going to InfluxDB. I have found it impossible to find a worked example of this that work with InfluxDB. There is extra field hardening to add to make it more robust.

Perhaps, what we should try for is njmon for AIX going into the AIX Open Source Toolbox. making njmon for AIX just a simple .rpm download. What do you think?

I hope this explains some back ground and points out njmon life just got simpler.

Cheers,

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for the new version. Will there be a version for vios version 4? Or can I use njmon_vios3 on vios4?

TIA

Good move a recent AIX version.

Just in the last hour or so released a new version njmon for AIX, version 85.

Get it from here https://nmon.sourceforge.io/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Njmon

The "ninstall" should work.

Unzip, then as root user run ./ninstall

Let me know if you have problems

Cheers, Nigel

Hello Amira,

so step by step:
1. check where the actual nimon version is installed: which nimon

2. remane the file  "njmon_aix73_v83" to nimon: mv njmon_aix73_v83 nimon

3. copy the new nimon file to the location you got from point 1.

Done.

kind regards,
Joerg

That download contains the binary, you don't need to compile anything.

Hi,

I do not see an error.

There is a note that a new manual page is not available as this version as it was a beta release. That is not an error.

Run nimon -!

To check the nimon version you have installed and can be found in your $PATH list.

nimon will immediately stop after outputting the version details

Note you are installing an old njmon/nimon version. Version 83 is available from:

https://nmon.sourceforge.io/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Njmon

This was released as a beta version but turned out we found no further bugs so it is a full release now.

See the note on the webpage "Upgraded this release = no longer considered a beta."

Perhaps, I should have released  the same file again without the words "beta" on it. I will do that next time.

Always use the latest version.

I hope this helps, cheers, Nigel

ps: Any one can contact me at nigelargriffiths@hotmail.com
