Monitoring iSeries Devices in SolarWinds

Here at AE, we have a good amount of IBM iSeries machines and while we have them in SolarWinds, I'm not sure if we are monitoring them correctly or effectively. I was talking to our iSeries admins and while we are using SNMP to monitor these systems, I know memory is used differently on iSeries than on Windows and Linux based systems.

So my question is this, is there anyone using Server & Application Monitor to effectively monitor iSeries systems in SolarWinds that would be willing to work with me to ensure have these machines set up for the most effective monitoring?

There are several SAM templates in the content exchange for AIX metrics, id start there. Basically I everything beyond the basic system metrics is going to rely on someone who knows what they are looking for to cook up scripts to check.

I'm not sure if this is EXACTLY what you want, but it may get you going in the right direction - LPAR disk-based and non-disk templates:

AIX_LPAR-disk

AIX_LPAR_non-disk

iSeries servers need an SNMP provider to be monitored by Orion. The one most customers use is Comtek > COMTEK AS/400 OS/400 SNMP agent system management details
