Timo,

This redbook goes into filesystem, and other monitoring using IBM and
NET-SNMP.

Based on the examples, you could probably get almost anything you wanted via
extensions.

AFAIR you can only get network-related counters and cpu-usage

try
man snmpinfo
man mosy

Subject: Monitoring CPU, memory and filesystem usage with snmp

Dear all,

I am trying to monitor cpu, memory und filesystem usage with snmp.

I am not an expert in this area, but I have read the AIX documentation
and consulted some news groups.

I am getting to the conclusion

1. it is not possible to get these values from AIX snmpd and subagents
on AIX version 4.3.3 and 5.1.0 2. it is necessary to use third-party
software (for example IBM perftoolbox or net-snmpd via exec functions)
on AIX version 4.3.3 and 5.10 3. it should be possible with AIX version
5.2.0 (aixmibd subagent) without additional software (I am trying to get
it working - but no success so far)

Is this correct?

Does somebody has scripts for use with net-snmpd?

Many thanks for sharing your experience und knowledge with me!!
