Here are a couple of quick one-liners we use in scripts to feed data to nagios.

One of the problems we ran into was a bug in the AIX 5.3 snmp daemon that reporting some values improperly (mainly cpu but we decided to use nrpe and custom scripts)

Percentage of memory in use:

 # svmon | grep memory | awk '{ print ($3/$2)*100 }'
 50.3664

Percentage of swap in use:

 # lsps -a | grep rootvg | awk '{print $5}'
 10

These numbers are reported back to Nagios via NRPE
