SNMP AIX

SNMP AIX Server Profile

This profile monitors several statistics for AIX servers.

Services Configuration

Service - Definitions in Monarch are stored under this name.
Command Line - Service command name with arguments to be passed to the plugin.

Plugin Command Line - Plugin script called by Nagios for this Service.

Command lines displayed below are intended to be single line commands.

Profile Package

This package includes the following files:

Profile Definitions

service-profile-snmp-aix.xml
perfconfig-snmp-aix.xml

Plugins Scripts on the GroundWork Server

check_snmp
check_snmp_storage.pl
check_snmp_load.pl

Installation

GroundWork Monitor includes many monitoring profiles for a variety of devices, systems and applications. Profiles already imported on a new GroundWork installation include Service Ping, SNMP Network, and SSH UNIX. The GroundWork Monitor Configuration tool is used to import updated Profiles and Profiles that require additional setup; the Profile XML file and its companion Performance Configuration definition file. Services can also be imported in addition to Service Profiles in the Profile Importer. The import process is documented under GROUNDWORK PROFILES > How to import profiles.

Implementation

This section contains detail settings used by this Profile. These parameters can be altered with the Configuration tool.

Command Parameters

Command parameters are in the Configuration Services section with the following names and default values.

snmp_aix_disk_home

The percentage of disk utilization used on /home.
$ARG1$ - Mount point. (This is a regular expression; HINT: use the $ to terminate the string, allows search for '/'.
$ARG2$ - Warning threshold.
$ARG3$ - Critical threshold.
$USER7$ - SNMP Community string.

snmp_aix_disk_root

The percentage of disk utilization used on / (root).
$ARG1$ - Mount point.
$ARG2$ - Warning threshold.
$ARG3$ - Critical threshold.
$USER7$ - SNMP Community string.

snmp_aix_disk_var

The percentage of disk utilization used on /var.
$ARG1$ - Mount point.
$ARG2$ - Warning threshold.
$ARG3$ - Critical threshold.
$USER7$ - SNMP Community string.

snmp_aix_load

The CPU load numbers.
$ARG1$ - Warning threshold.
$ARG2$ - Critical threshold.
$ARG3$ - The type of CPU load (see plugin help for details). Default value is ’r;stand’ (standard MIB2).
$USER7$ - SNMP Community string.

snmp_aix_procs

The number of running processes.
$ARG1$ - The Object Identifier (OID) to query.
$ARG2$ - Units to use when displaying data.
$ARG3$ - Warning threshold.
$ARG4$ - Critical threshold.
$USER7$ - SNMP Community string.

snmp_aix_if_1

The total number of in/out octets, in/out discarded packets, and in/out errors recorded on this interface.
$ARG1$ - Interface to query

snmp_alive

Check for uptime at $HOSTADDRESS$. This is a dependency check.

Performance Graphing Parameters

The following parameters are used to generate performance charts. These parameters are set using the Configuration>Performance tool in GroundWork Monitor.

snmp_aix_disk_

Graphs the percentage of disk space used.
The Nagios service description must contain the string snmp_aix_disk_.
