Hello Communiy

is there a way to monitor the hardware of IBM Power servers using Dynatrace?

Yes, it monitors IBM Power servers, but the level of monitoring depends on the OS:

AIX or Linux on Power → OneAgent fully supported, same experience as any other host but I think there is one specific version of AIX (some WPAR, I need to double check) doesn't support. However OneAgent can be installed directly for full-stack monitoring.
IBM i (AS/400) on Power → OneAgent not supported; use OpenTelemetry or Metrics Ingest API.
IBM z/OS (runs on IBM Z mainframe, not Power) → OneAgent not supported; use OpenTelemetry.

Thanks,

Sujit
