About this dashboard
This dashboard provides comprehensive AIX error report (errpt) monitoring through a Grafana Loki backend. It is designed for IBM Power Systems administrators who need real-time visibility into system errors across their AIX/IBM i fleet.
What you'll see
- Fleet timeline: errors across all your AIX hosts in one view
- Alerting panel: critical errors that require immediate attention
- Error volume: trends over time to spot patterns
- Heatmap: error distribution by host and time window
- Top resources: which subsystems are generating the most errors
- Detailed log entries: drill-down to specific events
How to use this dashboard
This dashboard requires:
Loki Agent for AIX — native log forwarder for AIX systems that pushes errpt entries to Grafana Loki without intermediate transformations. No syslog hacks, no fragile shell scripts.
Grafana Loki — any standard Loki backend (self-hosted or Grafana Cloud)
Standard log labels — the agent ships with sensible defaults (host, sequence, error_id, class, type, resource_name)
