Re: [Nagios-users] Hardware RAID monitoring?
Hey, have you ever heard of IPMI? It was developed by Intel, Dell, HP and NEC for hardware monitoring. Here is a good Introduction from the Open Source Monitoring Conference last month: http://www.netways.de/index.php?id=3035L=1 I haven’t used it yet, but I will give it a try.

Re: [Nagios-users] Hardware RAID monitoring?
Hello Eero. Thank you very much. I understood that the way you monitor will strongly depends on the hardware. I will see what type of hardware is our customer is using.

Re: [Nagios-users] Hardware RAID monitoring?
Hello Axel. Thank you for the reply. most controllers have a kind of cli which you cann access. With a more or less simple script you can get your raid and disk status. With nrpe it's easy to get a state message and an exitcode. You can try it with snmp, though I saw check_megaraid_sas in the Nagios Exchange which is for the Mega RAID controller (LSI). It will be nice to hear that other vedors has such cli api's which is visible from the OS. SNMP would be nicer too.

With a more or less simple script you can get your raid and disk status. With nrpe it's easy to get a state message and an exit code. It's in band isn't it? I experienced performance problems when checking against Dell PERC cards(megaraid firmware) with MegaCLI -LdPdInfo and MegaCLI -PDList, the io_wait queue was thrashed as reported by iostat resulting many slow queries on the MySQL host. Looks like hardware problems(including disk failure) are detected by IPMI hardware, namely BMC. I considered monitoring hardware events out band, and implemented as nagios passive checks on IPMI nodes. I also wrote a simple tutorial at http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/contrib/pet/README?root=freeipmiview=markup, and the passive check is discussed in section 2.2 NAGIOS INTEGRATION; there is also example configuration at http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/contrib/pet/ipminodes.cfg?root=freeipmiview=markup. It requires FreeIPMI-1.1.1 on the receiver host though, which will be released shortly in one or two weeks. How do you think about it?

Some cards provide little, if any information; others provide stacks of info. It's also probable that any check you use would be specific to the brand/model of card that you've got, as it would likely just be a wrapper around a binary for managing the card (as is the case with 'tw_cli' and the check_3ware plugin). -- Richard Clark rich...@fohnet.co.uk signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Learn Windows Azure Live!
