My experience is that the resources regarding commercial UNIX support such as AIX are rather sparse. However, as you are talking about monitoring an application and not the operating itself, you may have luck with existing resources. You could try to run one of the existing oracle exporters on AIX: https://github.com/iamseth/oracledb_exporter Go is supported on AIX, but there does not seem to be support for cgo yet. This may mean that the oracledb_exporter cannot be built as it seems to load the oracle C library: https://golang.org/doc/go1.12 https://github.com/mattn/go-oci8 It is usually recommended to run exporters as close to the monitored subject as possible. However, in this case "as close as possible" might mean: Run it on a linux box right next to the AIX oracle database. This could work as the connection is most likely a standard TCP connection. This has the downside of of being affected by disruptions between the database and the exporter (e.g. network problems). However, this can also be seen as a benefit (as compared with the blackbox_exporter): If your database is used from the network, it makes sense to monitor it from the network. Hope this helps.
