This is an IBM Automation portal for Cloud Management, Technology Cost Management, Network Automation and AIOps products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.
ideasibm@us.ibm.com - Use this email to suggest enhancements to the Ideas process or request help from IBM for submitting your Ideas.
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:
mqa(config)# test hardware

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.
