Log collect from IBM AIX Version 7.1

Dear All,

 

I would like to collect the logs from IBM AIX Version 7.1.

Is it needs a log forwarder between Sentinel and AIX?

Or Can we install Linux agent on this AIX Server?

 

with best regards

    The safest way to do this is to configure Syslog on your AIX system to send to a Linux system which is running the OMS agent. Linux and AIX are completely different operating systems running on computers completely different processor architectures (x86/amd64 versus Power), so the binaries will not be able to run on either system.

    If you're more adventurous, you can download the source for the OMS agent which has some hooks in it for AIX and Solaris compiles. I've tried to get the source to compile on Linux/ARM (think Raspberry Pi) but it hasn't worked. https://github.com/microsoft/Build-OMS-Agent-for-Linux
