9 UNIX server monitor
AIX
AIX can be installed on various types of IBM servers. The performance and stability of AIX greatly affects
the performance of applications running on it. APM provides the ability to monitor AIX 5.4 or later
versions of the operating system.
Adding an AIX application monitor
APM monitors the AIX operating system through CLI. When you add application monitors for AIX, follow
these guidelines:
• Enable Telnet or SSH on AIX. For more information, see the AIX configuration guide.
• Obtain the correct username and password of the Telnet or SSH user who has the AIX
administrator's privileges
• To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the AIX application, make sure at least one probe is
configured in APM. After an AIX application monitor is added, APM sends the IP address of the
monitored AIX application to the probes for traffic collection.
To add an AIX application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:
{
From the navigation tree, select Application Manager > Add Application.
{
From the navigation tree, select Application Manager > Application Monitor. In the application
monitor list, click Add.
The Add Application page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
3. Click AIX of the UNIX Server Monitor class.
The page for adding an AIX application monitor appears.
4. Configure the following parameters:
{
IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host on which the AIX application to be monitored is
installed. APM automatically checks the IP address and associates the application monitor with
the host managed in the IMC platform. If the host is already added to the IMC platform, you can
also click Select and select the host in the Select Devices window. For information about
selecting a host, see "
2 Quick start ."
{
Name—Enter a unique application monitor name. H3C recommends naming the application
monitor as Application name_host IP address.
{
Description—Enter a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
{
Polling Interval (min)—Select a polling interval for the application monitor. Available options
include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 30. The default polling interval is 5 minutes. A shorter polling
interval provides more accurate real-time data but consumes more system resources.
{
Monitor Type—Select the protocol (SSH or Telnet) through which APM monitors the AIX
application, and then click the
Configure link to configure related parameters.
