AIX errpt - Loki Agent

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:

1. 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.

2. Grafana Loki — any standard Loki backend (self-hosted or Grafana Cloud)

3. Standard log labels — the agent ships with sensible defaults (host, sequence, error_id, class, type, resource_name)

Try Loki Agent for AIX

The dashboard expects logs shipped by Loki Agent for AIX, the native companion agent built specifically for IBM Power workloads.
