Zabbix_Agent for AIX 5.3
I have downloaded zabbix_agent plugin for AIX 5.3

After extraction,i got 4 files as listed below.

zabbix_agent
zabbix_agentd
zabbix_get
zabbix_sender

I have 3 AIX servers & i want to monitor all servers CPU Usage,Network In/Out,Disk Usage,Free Memory (physical & swap) Usage etc.

Please Note :- Server are using Ksh (K-Shell) as a command interpreter & I need an agent,which i can compile on ksh environment.

So, just let me know how zabbix agent for AIX 5.3 will give me output? How to configure zabbix_agent on AIX servers as there is no installation file available. (lilke ./configure)

Waiting.

Hey there,

I'm still very new to Zabbix, however my primary environment is AIX so I've been working in that. If you have the zabbix_agent and zabbix_agentd you already have the client side ready to go.

Running the agent from Ksh is as simple as typing the command zabbix_agentd

ps -ef | grep zabbix should confirm the process is running.

Before running the agent you need to create the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf configuration file with the relavant server and host info.

* If you decide to use zabbix_agent instead of zabbix_agentd then the config file has to be called zabbix_agent.conf I think.

Reporting on AIX 5.3 from the agent seems pretty good however initially I'm missing any Memory metrics. Still working on that.
