I was wondering if anyone knows of any dashboard style tools for AIX. One of my many responsibilities is to report the status of the boxes and whether certain things are "up" and running each and every day. Nonetheless, this is a MAJOR pain as I have to logon to each box, pull up URLs through my browser, and basically test certain things in my application to make sure it's all still up and running. This is a MAJOR pain! I would think there would be something out there that allows one to see such things as CPU utilization, space, and various other things all from a URL (or something similar) where I could see it all from one place without having to do all of it manually. Any tips, hints, links, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

TOPAS might do most of what you are looking for. (man topas)

NMON is another tool, which is similar in scope, plus you can put it in daemon mode, collect snapshot files for performance analysis and there are some tools already developed for it (like NMON analyzer). (google for "nmon aix" to find a download site)

Create some scripts alerting you when some error condition occurs (app processes not there, filespace in certain FSs exhausted, etc.) and you have pretty much of what you are looking for.
