Load SystemEDGE AIMs

The SystemEDGE agent provides a plug-in architecture through which you can load optional SystemEDGE AIMs at initialization. These AIMs provide an extensible and flexible approach to supporting application-specific MIB variables.

You can edit the sysedge.cf file to specify which AIMs the agent should load. You can specify an absolute path or only the AIM name for the SystemEDGE agent to find the AIM to load.

The following on-demand modules are included with the SystemEDGE distribution on every platform. These modules, unlike AIMs, are loaded implicitly when the functionality is needed:

Note: The functionality previously included in the Top Processes AIM is now integrated into the base agent. For more information, see the chapter "Process and Service Monitoring."

To load SystemEDGE AIMs, enter the AIM name or the name and full path for the AIM on the following line in the sysedge.cf file:

sysedge_plugin

To load the SRM AIM, for example, enter the following in the sysedge.cf file:

sysedge_plugin svcrsp

You do not have to enter the absolute path, although entering the path still creates a valid entry. The SystemEDGE agent automatically derives the platform and file location for AIM loading.

For information about enabling other AIMs, see the documentation for that AIM. For more information about configuring AIMs, see the chapter "SystemEDGE AIMs."
