Plugin shows IO consumption on your certain AIX server.
You have to define your warning, critical thresholds by your own and disk list to be monitored. The most important thing is that you can have chart about usage if you integrate into some Nagios add-on like pnp4nagios.
Usage: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_aix_disk_io -d comma_separated_disk_list -w warning -c critical
Plugin needs NRPE to be executed remotely. If you decide to define plugin to be executed with arguments over NRPE you have to enable arguments in nrpe.cfg.
nrpe.cfg:
command[check_aix_disk_io]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_aix_disk_io -d $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
Usage example over NRPE:
# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -u -H server1 -n -c check_disk_io -a 'hdiskpower1,hdiskpower2,hdiskpower3' 80 90

Hello,
Thanks for writing this check. :-)
I'm not able to get Nagiosgraph to recognize the performance data however. Do you have any suggestions?
