Prometheus for AIX

Prometheus Ready

Yes, you get 379 metrics by lpar: each one declined by the number of instances for the resources, such as number of vcpu, number of disks, number of filesystems and so on.

You get metrics from the node, 71 ones dedicated to the cpu, 22 for the diskpath system, 71 for the memory, 49 for the disks system, 13 for the network interfaces, 35 for the network adapters, 7 for the nework buffers, 77 for the partition details, 6 for the filesystems, 20 for the fcstats, and another 20 metrics for various OS components.

No extra requirement

No need to install Go or any time consuming package installation: Prometheus4AIX embeds the required dependencies and installs them from the provided fileset. You only need an AIX 7 family operating system. Install it in just one command. No need to access internet for the installation or license activation.

Custom parameters

You can enable or disable group of metrics if you do not need any details for example. You also can change the sampling rate by default, 30s, the default communication port 9100/tcp which can be commonly used by other software such as database. You keep full control.

Get real time alerts

Visualising is nice, but getting real time alerts is better. Using your favorite alert manager, such as the Prometheus one, or Grafana one, you get alerts when something turns wrong on your system.

Create simple and efficient rules applying to all your AIX systems, including VIO servers. Use Prometheus tags to provide details informations into your alert messages.

Prometheus4Aix exporter include specific tags depending on the monitored resource. For example: lpar name, pseries name, processor reference and so on.

All alerts channels are available: emails, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Line, Webhook and many more.

Production ready

Prometheus4Aix software runs extensively for months on huge and also small pSeries systems: from a 0.1 EC and 10GB LPAR to 256 VCPU and 512 GB RAM’s one, we are truly confident Prometheus4Aix will run smoothly on your systems as well.

Ten of thousands of metrics are monitored each minutes, on different versions of the AIX system, and the whole exporter footprint is insignificant for usual CPU, RAM and I/O resources.

Prometheus4Aix supports all versions of the 7.x family for pSeries systems: 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. It also supports VIO servers based on AIX 7.
