Plugins for netbackup- Symantec and Tape library quantum

[gm_rajkumar]

Hi,

I am trying to configure the netbackup- Symantec and Tape library quantum in Nagiosxi, but couldnt find out the plugins for it. The compatible for the plugin shows 1.x,2.x,3.x nagios core version. Please let me know whether it works in nagiosxi. Also i wanted to know after uploaded this plugins how to enable the service to check parameters on this, need some document on this.

Instead of this plugins im adding snmp wizards, will it work? how to monitor the specific service like printer queues, jobs, tape drive size, jobs. I wanted monitor specific services in backup device (status, tape drive failure..etc). i would appreciate if you would help out on this.

Let me know how to steps to carry out the configuration part, need to monitor more services which i mentioned.

Regards,
Raj.

Raj,

Yes, any plugin that works with Nagios 3.0 (and probably earlier versions) will work with Nagios XI. There should be no problem there.

Here is a video that illustrates how to add a plugin and use it in Nagios XI:

And using SNMP using wizard should work as long as you know the OIDs for the metrics you want to monitor. A good place to find MIB OIDs is:

Hi,

Thanks for the update, however i couldnt find the exact plugin which suits my requirement Symantec and Quantum. Is it any common snmp based plugin available. I couldnt find out from the site.

I wanted to monitor the backup status, size, blocked, backed up details.

i would appreciate if you could update the exact link what im looking for.

Thanks!
Regards,
Raj.

As nscott pointed out, you can just use the SNMP wizard once you know the SNMP OID of the item you want to monitor, you can lookup most common ones here

Hi,

I have tried with this netapp plugin below URL, the command is working fine in the /libexec/# ./check-netapp-ng.pl -H <IP> -C <community> -T TEMP. i can see the results and all of the commands are working fine.
When im trying the commands for service configuration, once i updated its coming as Critical->null message.

Let me know if you need further details to check on this.

does you community string have special characters in it? You may need to escape them or wrap the community string in single quotes.

Also, is your command setup in the correct format?

Im trying like this,its working fine in terminal CLI but its not getting thru xi.
Herewith enclosed the screenshot for your reference.


/usr/bin/perl5.8.8 ./check-netapp-ng.pl -H <hostname> -T FAN -w 1 -c 3 -C <community>

Let me know if you need further details..

in XI you will need something like this

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/perl5.8.8 $USER1$/check-netapp-ng.pl -H <hostname> -T FAN -w 1 -c 3 -C <community>

[gm_rajkumar]

Please check my screenshot, i have done the same. However, i m getting the same issue.

Again, does you community string have special characters in it? You may need to escape them or wrap the community string in single quotes.
ie. '$ARG1$'

Also, to make sure it can run as the nagios user, you should try

Code: Select all

su nagios -c "/usr/bin/perl5.8.8 ./check-netapp-ng.pl -H <hostname> -T FAN -w 1 -c 3 -C '<community>'"
