AIX by Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent
Overview
This is an official AIX template. It requires Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent 7.2 or newer.
Notes on filesystem (FS) discovery:
- The ext4/3/2 FS reserves space for privileged usage, typically set at 5% by default.
- BTRFS allocates a default of 10% of the volume for its own needs.
- To mitigate potential disasters, FS usage triggers are based on the maximum available space.
- Utilization formula:
pused = 100 - 100 * (available / total - free + available)
- Utilization formula:
- The FS utilization chart, derived from graph prototypes, reflects FS reserved space as the difference between used and available space from the total volume.
Requirements
Áú»¢¶Ä²© version: 7.2 and higher.
Tested versions
This template has been tested on:
- AIX 6.1
Configuration
Áú»¢¶Ä²© should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.
Setup
Install Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent on the AIX OS according to Áú»¢¶Ä²© documentation.
