Hello guys we are using centreon to monitor Linux and AIX servers using SNMP but there are snmp limitations for AIX servers we cannot monitor gpfs filesystems, memory, load which are required to be monitored. can we monitor these using agent? please note we are monitoring AIX version 7.2.

Hello,
About the Load Average and Memory indicators, you must give an output of snmpinfo command like on this forum https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/77590/hardware-monitoring-for-ibm-aix-6-1-7-1-and-vios-in-npm with the help of https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-use-aix-mib and https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=formats-mibdefs-file-format and maybe open an IDEA
About the GPFS you could use the script provided by pixelabs but you must compil your NRPE daemon on AIX of the last release, (or use NRPE add-on) or give a little help to Centreon to create it with an IDEA also, maybe with the official tool https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-scale/4.2.2?topic=monitoring-gpfs-io-performance-mmpmon-command dedicated to UNIX AIX / Linux or others because you could implement GPFS on Linux and Windows Server.
I remember you have probably many tools or informations on http://aixtools.net/ and many package on the BULL Repository https://www.bullfreeware.com/ but it seems out of service... for NRPE

Greg
