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
