NULL as name of old aix 5.1 machine

Rustem · December 2018

Dear team

Thank you for your great product

We have some problems with old AIX machines, some of them are return NULL as machine name. We found that it is result of the "uname -sL" command:

$ uname -sL

AIX 1 NULL

Could you return a hostname in this case?

Hi,

this output:

/usr/bin/perl /opt/lpar2rrd-agent/lpar2rrd-agent.pl -d <lpar2rrd server>

You can send it event to support@lpar2rrd.com if you have there sensitive data.

Hi,
I have sent the output by email, and as temporary solution I have added next piece of code to the agent program:

965a966,969
>       if ( $part_name eq "NULL" ) {
>          $part_name = `uname -n`;
>          chomp($part_name);
>       }
