    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

    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
