Monitor AIX with the Datadog Unix Agent

The Datadog Unix Agent for AIX is now generally available, offering a native experience with an AIX-native .BFF file format installation script. The agent runs as a daemon and supports various system-level metrics such as CPU, load, memory, and network usage, which can be visualized in Datadog. Beyond core system-level metrics, the agent also collects data from custom integrations running on AIX, lparstat and iostat tools, individual processes, and allows for custom metric submission via DogStatsD. The agent is open source and runs as a separate non-root user with options for privileged access. Users can try the agent with a 14-day free trial or provide feedback to increase integration support on AIX in the future.
