AIX by Zabbix agent

Overview

It is an official AIX template. It requires Zabbix agent 6.4 or newer.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 6.4 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • AIX 6.1

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

Install Zabbix agent on the AIX OS according to Zabbix documentation.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$AGENT.TIMEOUT}

The timeout after which agent is considered unavailable. It works only for the agents reachable from Zabbix server/proxy (in passive mode).

 3m
