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.

Hello all, can you please let me know if the free version of puppet provides dashboard? Or how do you get info about failed installation or other staff for the puppet agents? Sorry for not googling first :)
