No answer from host for CPU monitoring in AIX 7.2

Post by nagiosnsdl »

Dear Team,

We have configured the AIX 7.2 server for monitoring the basic services. All the services (i.e. Memory, file system and Swap) are getting monitored except CPU. we are getting "No answer from host" for CPU monitoring.

Please help us to resolve the same.

Thanks
Niklesh

Hi Niklesh,

Can run the full check command directly from the terminal in Nagios Xi so we can review the command its arguments along with the output messages?

Hello @nagiosnsdl,

Do you know the specific OID's for CPU usage? Looking at the plugin, it doesn't list AIX as a supported operating system.
Supported platforms : Windows, Linux/Unix, AS400, Cisco (routers, ASA, Pix, catalyst), HP Procurve, LinkProof, Blucoat, Nokia, Fortinet, Netscreen, HP-UX.
