2005-04-05 Thread Gary Richardson
I have some junky, ugly code that exports raid status to SNMP.. It currently works with linux software raid (2.2/2.4 at least), 3ware 9xxx cards and megaraid cards.. I may be convinced to release it to the list, if there is interest in this code with very few comments and almost no documentation :

RE: alerts functionality

2004-11-23 Thread Gary Richardson
As a side note to this conversation, we do our configuration a wee bit differently. We require the ability to get stats, disable services and get alerts specific to each host. Basically, we need everything to happen at the host level. In order to accomplish this, we map one host group to one host

Hey, This month's SysAdmin magazine also has an article on using Net::DNS to do DDNS zone updates (not that anyone fooling around with BIND shouldn't have the cookbook sitting on there desk -- I didn't review so I'm a little less biased). If you are a perl hacker, then http://search.cpan.org/~cr
