monitor filesystems

[glj]

Hello Everybody
I would like to monitor cpu, filesystems, paging space etc. with thresholds.
Is there a tool for AIX 5.2 available ?
Is bigssiter a good idea ?
Are there any other tools ?
Thanks a lot

Tivoli and BMC Patrol are two commercially available options. They are capable of what you are wanting plus a whole lot more.

You can also use uptime. We use it and the dba's love it for trouble shooting. It also help with Sarban oxley compliance. We generate reports monthly from it with system stats and other info.

BMC Patrol = $$
Never used Tivoli for monitoring - just Storage Manager.
Big Brother will watch CPU, Disk, etc., but not in detail.
top, vmstat, iostat, ps, topas

Take a peak at nmon.

I use Big Brother. It does a "fair" job. It doesn't have anything exceptional for cpu, but it can do the trick

Nmon rocks.. doesn't monitor for thresholds but still rocks. I use Argent Guardian for the monitoring. It is not agent based like BMC. Its cheaper then BMC or Tivoli... (or was). You get a ton of monitors with it but the cool part is that if you can script it in any type of shell script then you can monitor the threshold.

Eh, well, what about AiX Resource Monitor? Isn't it just designed to monitor some tresholds? And it is supplied with the OS.
