Nagios Support Forum

@xpac, did you find any HP-specific plugins for your needs? Sorry I've been working on a bunch of other things that took priority, but now I'm back to this. I'm gonna try this plugin: http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/nagios-plugins/check_smart.php#.VDQSj00tCHt it seems to be relatively recent and whi...

So I set up an Nagios server and added a few hosts that will be monitored in my test environment. I just followed a regular plain jane install and haven't added any plugins yet. When I look at the first remote host in the web interface under "View Status Detail for this Host" I see a few s...

This is more a theory behind it question, why does the Nagios server show up in the list of hostnames as "localhost" and not by its proper name? Do people just add an entry for the host separately so that these is both a localhost and the actual name of the host entry? Earlier I asked abou...

Thanks that worked

Generally speaking virtual disks do not have SMART capabilities. Unless you're providing full, physical device passthrough to the VM. So I think that's what you're seeing here. You can always test to make sure it works by copying the perl script to your production boxes, and running the command tha...

Ok, the errors I believe are specific to the plugin I'm trying to use and not to Nagios overall SO, it may be beyond the purpose of this forum unfortunately...but any help is greatly appreciated! :D Quick Background: Ultimately what I want to be able to do is add some kind of SMART monitoring of my ...

Thanks, I at least got it "working" meaning at least it will run. It doesn't give me any useful output other than errors LOL, but so far I've tried 2 SMART plugins and neither of them give me anything useful...Back to the drawing board I guess.

Ok, So I'm starting to get the hang of this LOL, anyway I found a site with a plugin I would like to install on my test Nagios server, here is a link to the page: http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/nagios-plugins/check_smart.php#.U_5mlmOLHo5 My question is that he has a download check_smart.pl, which is...
