free — 1 managed system

power-hmc-exporter — PowerVM Monitoring Free Trial

Try the full exporter on one managed Power system — shared CPU & memory pools, LPAR ↔ VIOS relationships, and SEA / NPIV / VSCSI attribution, straight from the HMC. One central exporter, nothing installed on your partitions. Add your whole estate with the full license.

What’s included

  • ✅ Full view of one managed system — every LPAR & VIOS on the frame
  • ✅ Shared CPU & memory pools — entitled vs consumed
  • ✅ LPAR ↔ VIOS, SEA, NPIV & VSCSI mapped automatically
  • ✅ 3 Grafana dashboards — overview, per-system, per-LPAR
  • ✅ Agentless — scrapes the HMC REST API, nothing on your LPARs
  • ✅ Static binary + hardened systemd unit

Install in minutes

# Runs on a Linux x86-64 host — NOT your LPARs
# 1. Extract the package (binary + 3 dashboards + docs)
# 2. Point it at your HMC with a read-only (hmcviewer) user
# 3. Start it — metrics exposed on :9105
# 4. Import the 3 included Grafana dashboards
# Exact commands & options are in the included docs (PDF)

v0.10.0 — Linux x86-64 — binary + 3 dashboards + docs — 7.4 MB

AIX Monitoring Free Trial — Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register or create an account?

Create a free account to access the download. No credit card, no license key — just your email so we can notify you of updates and security patches.

Which AIX versions are supported?

AIX 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 on any IBM Power Systems hardware (POWER7 and above, including Power10).

Does the trial phone home or require internet?

No. The software runs entirely offline. No telemetry, no license server, no internet required. Works perfectly in air-gapped environments.

What’s the difference between trial and full?

AIX-exporter: Trial has 3 collectors (CPU, memory, partition). Full unlocks all 22 collectors + Grafana dashboard. No time limit on either.
Loki Agent: Trial is fully functional for 30 days. Same binary, same features — just a time limit.

Can I use the trial in production?

The trial is intended for evaluation. For production use, please purchase the full license. The upgrade is seamless — same config, same paths, no data loss.

How do I uninstall?

Standard AIX package management: stopsrc -s aix-exporter && installp -u aix-exporter.rte. Clean removal — no leftover files, no orphan processes.

Ready to see all 22 collectors?

Upgrade from trial to full — same config, zero downtime, all metrics unlocked.
