    Posted Mon October 14, 2024 05:56 PM

    Hi, We have some AS400 systems need to be monitored by the prometheus, does any one has that kind of experience.  And where can i find the node exporter for AS400? Thanks!

    Hi TING ZHU, i found some info for a customer from : https://techchannel.com/open-source-on-ibm-i/monitoring-ibm-i-with-prometheus/. 

    This is a 2022 article but can be helpful for you.

    Hello @TING ZHU,

    You can find here the node exporter and other documentation if this is what you are looking for.

    Hi Ting, πŸ‘‹

    Great question - integrating AS400 systems with Prometheus isn't straightforward since there's no native node exporter for IBM i. However, it's absolutely possible through a hybrid setup.

    You can:
    1️⃣ Use custom scripts (via QShell or Python on PASE) to expose performance metrics like CPU, memory, job stats, etc., in Prometheus-readable format (JSON or plain text).
    2️⃣ Alternatively, deploy an intermediate Linux-based exporter that pulls data using IBM i Navigator APIs or SSH commands from your AS400.
    3️⃣ For advanced setups, Nalashaa provides connectors and middleware solutions to bridge AS400 monitoring data to Prometheus/Grafana seamlessly - including alerting and visualization.

    If you're looking for a pre-tested approach, our AS400 monitoring integration team can help you design a secure and scalable Prometheus setup for IBM i environments.
