Hi Team,

I have received a request to monitor File share e.g "\\Server Name\Path" i am looking a way Command or Plugins i have to use to monitor this type for file share.

Please provide your suggestion or let me know if any details you required.

I really depends on what about it you want to monitor, but https://exchange.nagios.org//directory/ ... re/details is probably a good start.

What's the output of rpm -qa | grep samba? You may just need to run yum update.

What's the output of cat /etc/*lease?

as we are in process to update V5 but it may take time due to (Approval and security)
can we do it on same version ?

[dwhitfield]

We still don't know what you want to monitor. Just that it exists? You could try https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... le/details -- There are other samba share checks, so you might just need to look at a few and see if they do what you want with your version of Samba.

We didn't write either one of those plugins, so it may take us some time to troubleshoot them. Those plugins were uploaded about the same time, so it's possible you will run into a similar issue.

What were you saying you are about to upgrade to v5? If you are say XI, then that really shouldn't matter. It's not working from the command line at this point. Maybe that's a typo and you meant CentOS7?

Please find below actual requirement.

\\usa0XX0cifXXXXX\CENXOE Note: This is a share utilized as a volume to store images for the application. Nagios need to verify availability and access to this share.

[rkennedy]

Does your share require an authentication at all? May need to pass those parameters.

Thanks @rkennedy!

If it's a simple samba share, the plugin provided by @dwhitfield should be sufficient. Have you encountered issues implementing that plugin?

Hi All,

after further discussion with user we found that requested server is an EMC NAS appliance. and we cannot install anything (nagios client) on it so please advise can we monitor now if we don't have Nagios client on NAS appliance.
