Switching data source from NMON to the OS agent

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 :)
