Exchange 2013 DB mounted and healthy

[rferebee]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me the correct command I should be using to check that Exchange 2013 DBs are mounted and healthy?

I'm having a heck of a time finding anything via Google.

Thank you.

This plugin may work for you:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ue/details

OR this:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... 2E/details

OR even this:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... th/details

These are meant to be run through NSClient++ or NCPA since they are powershell scripts, do you currently have an agent installed on the system to monitor it?

[rferebee]

Yes, we have agents installed on all the servers where we need the DBs monitored.

Thank you for your help.

Ok, if you need help setting the agent up let us know which agent you're using and attach your agent configuration file.

Thank you

Ok, here's where I'm at. We're running CentOS 6 and have had zero success with PowerShell.

Does anyone know of any commands that are in BASH, PERL or PYTHON that could accomplish this same request?

Can you provide some details in the issues you are having with the powershell scripts?

[rferebee]

According to Microsoft, PowerShell is not supported in CentOS 6 only 7. We've attempted installing PowerShell Core before and could not get it running.

Does anyone know how to get PowerShell working in CentOS 6?

What OS and release version is the the Exchange DB hosted on?
Which Agent is installed on the server?

[rferebee]

Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600

NS agent version 0.3.9.328

The Powershell script runs on the Windows system using an external command and not on the Nagios server.

For example if you use the check_exchange.ps1 script, you would copy it to the C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts folder.

Then edit the NSC.ini file on the Windows system and add the following line under section:

Code: Select all

[Wrapped Scripts]
check_exchange=check_exchange.ps1 $ARG1$

And add this under this section

Code: Select all

[Script Wrappings]
ps1 = cmd /c echo scripts\%SCRIPT%%ARGS%; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command -

Save and restart Nsclient++

This will create a command called check_exchange that you would call from the Nagios server using the check_nrpe plugin,

Then for example, to Monitor all database in exchange 2013, you would use this command on the Nagios server.

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H Exchange_IP_Address -t 30 -c check_exchange -a '-CheckType DBStatus -ExchangeVer 2013'

If you have any other questions, let us know.
