The short answer is "we already should if it is exporting the correct SNMPv2 OIDs, other than that you might look at using a command

There is also an existing SNMP AIX Zenpack here:

SNMP is installed and working on these two hosts.. however the dba informed me that an snmpwalk command failed. I did try the Community AIX pack but it failed to install. IDK why yet because I haven't found the 'event log'. I did install an Oracle zenpack though whgich gave me alot of extra graph options that all seem to be incapable of displaying data. Interconnect times, Logons, Shared Pool Free, System LOAD, IO, etc, etc. All are blank.

You could always make a local copy of the linux template, and then modify the SNMP OID's to work with your system........take 30 minutes and done!

Subject:	Bicarbonate, could you post

Bicarbonate, could you post output from your AIX machine:
- cat /proc/diskstats
- iostat -V

I would like to code ssh-based ZenPack, which will parse and compute iostat stats for block devices directly from /proc/diskstats. But my scope is Linux and I don't have any AIX machine here, so I want to see how it looks on AIX.

here it is:

# cat /proc/diskstats
cat: 0652-050 Cannot open /proc/diskstats.
# iostat -v
Usage: iostat [-a] [-l] [-s] [-t] [-T] [-V] [-z] [{-A [-P] [-q | Q]} | {-d | -p [-D] [-R]}] [-m] [Drives] [Interval [Count]]
-a specifies adapter throughput report
-s specifies system throughput report
-t specifies tty/cpu report only
-T specifies time stamp
-d specifies drive report only
-p specifies tape report only
-D specifies extended drive report only
-m reports Path statistics only
-A specifies statistics for CPU and asynchronous I/O
-P same as -A option, but the data is obtained using POSIX AIO calls
-q specifies AIO queues and their request counts
-Q specifies mounted filesystems and their associatad AIO queue and request counts
-l specifies the output in long listing mode. The default is 80 column width.
-R specifies reset of min and max values at each interval. The default is reset only once at beginning
-V reports only active non zero statistics
-q or -Q can be specified only with -A
-a and -s can also be specified with -A, but not when -q or -Q are specified
-p and -m cannot both be specified
-t and -d cannot both be specified
-t and -D cannot both be specified
-R can be specified only with -D
-z Resets disk metrics. Only root user can use this option

AIX doesn't use Linux concept (/proc/diskstats), so I won't be able to parse AIX devices.
