Switching data source from NMON to the OS agent

jjsk1

I replaced the nmon recording with the AIX OS Agent on one of the LPARs. However the charts are not getting updated with the os agent data.  

I've tried to rename <lpar name>.--NMON--  to <lpar name>  in the data directory.  The source icon now shows "OS Agent" but still not getting data.

Is there something else I need to do to to switch from NMON to the OS agent data collection?

lpar2rrd 4.91
agent 4.90

I had to change data types from gauge to COUNTER for some of formerly nmon  (LAN, SAN, san iops), after renaming the --NMON-- directory.  Also restart the daemon process.

for i in $(ls san-fcs*.mmm)
do
  rrdtool tune $i -d recv_bytes:COUNTER
  rrdtool tune $i -d trans_bytes:COUNTER
  rrdtool tune $i -d iops_in:COUNTER
  rrdtool tune $i -d iops_out:COUNTER
done

for i in $(ls lan-en*.mmm)
do
  rrdtool tune $i -d recv_bytes:COUNTER
  rrdtool tune $i -d trans_bytes:COUNTER
  rrdtool tune $i -d recv_packets:COUNTER
  rrdtool tune $i -d trans_packets:COUNTER
done

we are "free loaders" for now, but sharing some info in case someone will find this useful.

Hi,

well, quite interesting way how to keep data. It might work althought we do not support it
