APM agent for MQ Appliance should monitor Hardware too

We are using massively MQ Appliance but the last version of agent is not complete because it doesn't show information about MQ Appliance Hardware

    Even OS agents do not capture the requested level of detail.

    What the MQ team would need is something like the cli "test hardware" outcome which returns some useful info on the status of storage (at the very end of the output, look at the RAID state) along with many other parameters of interest. Our internal customers would need info about the RAID, and this would be really urgent. But also other information returned by the command would be useful in order to have a general look on the appliance health:

    By the current design, the MQ Appliance Agent need work on the REST API of MQ Appliance: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/mq-appliance/9.1.0.0?topic=resources-status, if the required status metrics are out of the scope, we need more investigation, then try to redesign and re-implement the agent. Could you please provide more details about the hardware monitoring requirement, such as hardware type, metric name, etc. Thanks.
