Nagios XI AIX RAM utilization

[nagarjuna]

Dear abrist,

As we required graph, its not producing till now. RAM utilization is OK, but we need graphs for utilized RAM of IBM AIX.

apart from this we need RAM utilization in without adding cache memory.

used = 53%
cached = 30%

CRIT - RAM usage is at 83%

but we need only used memory which is 53% only in our NagiosXI dashboard.

Please help me on this also

Can you get that information the output of svmon? What is the output of:

Code: Select all

svmon
svmon | grep memory

We may need to change the awk for the desired field.

Hi abrist,

1. As of now i dont have AIX in my home, i will send you svmon output tomorrow.

2. We have checked check_aix_ram, we are not getting RAM utilization graphs from check_aix_ram plugin.

Please suggest. as you have given final script check_aix_ram plugin, it has just removed floating value only not showing/generating RAM utilization graphs ..

We need AIX Ram utiilization graphs in NagiosXI Dashboard also.

[abrist]

It may take up to 15 - 20 minutes before you see the graph get generated.
You also may need to delete the corresponding rrd for the check in order to regenerate it with the right datasources.

Dear abrist,

Please find the attached screenshot for svmon command in AIX system. We need only actual memory used by system not with cache.


and as you also mentioned for 15-20 min, still it was not generated then i checked in NagiosXI system there is not any rrd, xml file related to RAM Utilization in particular/all AIX systems.

We have searched in /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/152.63.1.97/ we did not found any file related to RAM utilization. Please check attached screenshot.

Please check

Are any of the values output from the svmon command the values you are looking for?
Can you show me the full output of the running the current memory check plugin?

Dear Abrist,

Please check the attached screenshot for RAM utilization which we required. Actually customer asked to show this topas ram utilization which is something chaned in svmon

In AIX system
# topas

we need topas RAM Utilization like in red circle, comp % 88

[abrist]

The current plugin parses the output from svmon. If the values you need are not in svmon, you may need to write a new plugin to parse topas, or something similar.
As we do not have an AIX system in house, I am not able to to test all the relevant possible switches with svmon to output a memory usage value sans paged and cached memory.

Dear Team,

can we raise ticket for this issue?

Thanks

[abrist]

Indeed. Please send an email to [email protected] to open a ticket. Just an FYI: we will try to make the current check work, but if you need to create a new plugin, we will most likely need to refer you to [email protected] for custom development.
