Not all metrics not being captured using Splunk Add-On for Unix & Linux?

Hi,

We deployed the Splunk Add-On for Unix & Linux on a few AIX & Netezza servers as noticed a few issues with missing metrics.

NETEZZA:
All df metrics are not being returned (error message in _internal index shows the following Splunk_TA_nix/bin/df_metric.sh" df: unrecognized option '--output=source,fstype,size,used,avail,pcent,itotal,iused,iavail,ipcent,target'

AIX
Following IOstat metrics are not being returned.
iostat_metric.rReq_PS
iostat_metric.wReq_PS

 

Thanks,

AKN

The add-on uses shell scripts to capture data for ingestion by Splunk.  Run the scripts manually (see inputs.conf for the script names) to see what they return and how they should be modified to run on your OS.  Then make the changes to the add-on.  You'll want to include switches that test the current OS so you don't break the scripts on other systems.

Be aware that upgrades to the add-on will overwrite your changes so you will have to re-apply them.
