nfs/cifs mount status checks for aix/solaris/hp-ux

Post by anish »

Hello,

Linux Distribution and version? Centos 6.8
32 or 64bit? 64 bit
VMware Image or Manual Install of XI? Virtual Image
Are there special configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? Are you using a proxy? Are you using SSL? None
NagiosXI Version : 5.2.9

Is there a plugin to monitor the mount status on nfs/cifs on AIX (5.3,6.1,7.1) solaris (8,9,10,11) and HP UX

Thanks,
Anish.

Have you looked at NRPE?

SNMP may also expose that information depending on the configuration.

Yep, I am familiar with nrpe and snmp checks.

Do we have a plugin which checks the mount status of all nfs/cifs mounts by reading the mount info from filesystem file.

Aside from the preinstalled plugins, a list of 3rd party plugins can be found on the exchange.

As for your specific question, I don't know a specific plugin which reads /etc/mtab. As that isn't a reliable source(and what mount on Linux reads by default), most users really want the output from /proc/mounts.

You can direct the check_disk to check one specific mount point if that fulfills your need. It will error if the mount point isn't present.
