Monitor AIX with the Datadog Unix Agent
The Datadog Unix Agent for IBM AIX is now generally available, providing comprehensive monitoring capabilities for large, complex systems that require accurate, real-time performance tracking. The open-source agent supports multiple AIX versions and offers a native installation experience with easy control using familiar SRC commands. It collects system-level metrics such as CPU, memory, and network usage, as well as extends support to lparstat, iostat, individual process monitoring, custom integration checks, and Dogstatsd for custom metrics. Future updates will include increased integration support on AIX, starting with metrics from the IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC).
