Hello to all.

I am working as a Linux System Administrator since 5 Years & Now,my company is going to purchase 3 numbers of IBM-P Series Server with AIX support.

We will install Oracle Database Application on AIX version 5 OS Platform. Now,my questions is:

Is it possible to install NAGIOS like application on AIX? I am fully confident with NAGIOS & I have implemented it on Linux Platform. But, for AIX, I don't know anything.

Simply,I want to monitor all my new IBM-P Series Servers from remote side. For Example : I want to check CPU Usage,Network In/Out Traffic,Hard Disk Usage & other tools of AIX,which is necessary to monitor.

If I type AIX Server IP Address, it should show me above listed items as a GUI Display.(same like Nagios showing)

Help would be great if I can get another softwares too,which I can implement on my AIX server & access then from remote side,by using AIX Server IP Address.(Web-GUI Tool)

please let me know if anyone knows.......

Advanced Thanks,
Nishith Vyas.

Hi Nishith,

you can install a nagios nrpe agent on AIX and connect it to nagios linux server.
Look at nagios web site for download and documentation.
You also need install a gzip package from Linux Toolbox for AIX.

Hi Nishith,

Yes you can monitor AIX OS using nagios. Please find following link to download AIX plugins and configure SSH key Authentication on AIX server.

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Distributions/Pre%252DCompiled-Binaries/AIX/AIX-5-2E3-Binaries-%252D-NRPE%2C-NSCA%2C-Nagios-Plugins/details

Extract and run following path
./configure --prefix=/opt/nagios --enable-perl-modules
Please let me know if you are looking for more information.

You can download nrpe from here:

Compile it using:

./configure

make

make install

There is a readme in the extracted files to help you a little. To start the daemon you run ./nrpe -c <location_of_config_file>/nrpe.cfg -d

If you have issues with SSL you can add -n before -d to tell it not to use SSL. I would recommend downloading and compiling nagios-plugins as well:

http://www.nagios.org/download/plugins

 

Hope this helps! :)

You can also use snmpd and smux sub-agents  to query the aix systems without the need to load any nagios agent code on the aix lpars.   Nagios supports the snmp protocol.
