AIXHostDetails topology object

The AIXHostDetails type contains additional AIX®-specific host information, relating to partitions. A single instance is created as a child of a Host’s details node.

Table 31. AIXHostDetails topology object
Metric Name	Metric Description	Metric Collected for These Platforms
Capped	Indicates whether the partition is capped or uncapped.	AIX®
entitlement	Indicates the entitlement of processing capacity allocated in processor units to the partition.	AIX
isLPAR	Indicates whether the monitored host represents a logical partition.	AIX
lparID	Indicates logical partition ID if the host is a LPAR.	AIX
lparName	Indicates logical partition name if the host is a LPAR.	AIX
SerialNum	Indicates the serial number where the AIX host is running.	AIX
Shared	Indicates whether the partition is shared or dedicated.	AIX
SMT	Indicates whether the partition has simultaneous multi-threading enabled.	AIX
typeModel	Indicates the IBM® machine type where the AIX host is running.	AIX

AIXMemoryDetails topology object

The AIXMemoryDetails type contains additional details specific to AIX® hosts, relating to memory activity. A single instance is associated with the monitored host’s Memory (as a child of details, called “MemoryDetails”). These metrics are only available if using the native collector.

Table 32. AIXMemoryDetails topology object
Metric Name	Metric Description	Metric Collected for These Platforms
cycles	Number of page replacement cycles over the polling interval.	AIX®
numperm	Number of frames used for files.	AIX
pgbad	Number of bad pages occurring over the polling interval.	AIX
pgexct	Number of page faults over the polling interval.	AIX
pgsp_rsvd	Size of reserved paging space (in 4 KB pages).	AIX
pgsteals	Number of page steals over the polling interval.	AIX
real_process	Number of pages used by process segments. This is defined as: real_total - real_free - numperm - real_system Because real_system is an approximation, this number is also an approximation.	AIX
real_system	Number of pages used by system segments. This is the sum of all the used pages in segments marked for system usage. Because segment classifications are not always guaranteed to be accurate, this number is only an approximation.	AIX
real_user	Number of pages used by non-system segments. This is the sum of all pages used in segments not marked for system usage. Because segment classifications are not always guaranteed to be accurate, this number is only an approximation.	AIX
scans	Number of page scans by clock over the polling interval.	AIX

AIXPhysicalCPUUsage topology object

The AIXPhysicalCPUUsage type contains additional details regarding Physical CPU usage on AIX® systems. Summary and per-processor metrics are reported scaled to the LPAR entitlement. These are the raw values.

Table 33. AIXPhysicalCPUUsage topology object
Metric Name	Metric Description	Metric Collected for These Platforms
idle	Percentage of the collection period the physical CPUs on the system spent waiting for I/O.	AIX®
physical_processors_used	How many physical CPUs were consumed during the collection period. A value of (for example) 0.2 on a 2-processor system means that (0.2/2.0) processors were used up, or about 10% physical CPU utilization.	AIX
system	Percentage of the collection period the physical CPUs on the system spent executing in system mode.	AIX
user	Percentage of the collection period the physical CPUs on the system spent executing in user mode.	AIX
system	Percentage of the collection period the physical CPUs on the system spent idle.	AIX

AIXUsedMemoryDetails topology object

The AIXUsedMemoryDetails type contains additional details regarding used memory on AIX®. This information may require use of sudo for the agent to collect. For more information about sudo commands that require root access, see Configuring secure launcher permissions using sudo.

Table 34. AIXUsedMemoryDetails topology object
Metric Name	Metric Description	Metric Collected for These Platforms
client	Amount of RAM in use as client pages.	AIX®
persistent	Amount of RAM in use as persistent pages.	AIX
working	Amount of RAM in use as working pages.	AIX
