Are you looking at monitoring the xenserver host, or the guests?

The xenserver host

Have you taken a look at the exchange xen plugins?

[samuel]

I found a plugin that might work.
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... en/details
Could I get help configuring it.
I have uploaded it to Nagios.
Then I made this command.

Code: Select all

$USER1$/check_xen -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

I made a service and assined it to the server.
I was testing out the service and I keep getting this

Code: Select all

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_xen -H 10.150.150.51 -m server
OUTPUT: ::10.150.150.51:::

Is you virtual hostname "server"? Did you take a look at the comments, it looks like there might be an updated patch for the plugin.

[sreinhardt]

You absolutely can get some help configuring. In-house we don't presently have a xenserver setup so this might get a little tricky. Just to verify the same results, what happens if you run it from the nagios cli like so:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec/
./check_xen -H 10.150.150.51 -m server
echo $?

[samuel]

I updated the check_xen with the code written in April 22, 2013 in the review.
The output changed to this.

Code: Select all

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_xen -H 10.150.150.51 -m csxen01.rdr.pvt
OUTPUT: Critical - Virtual System is Shutoff

What do you mean by virtual hostname?

Code: Select all

./check_xen -H 10.150.150.51 -m csxen01.rdr.pvt
./check_xen: line 32: xm: command not found
Critical - Virtual System is Shutoff

[abrist]

What do you mean by virtual hostname?

the server declared with the "-m" switch. Looks like you just obfuscated your example. Nothing to see here.

It looks like the check is *mostly* working. Is the csxen01.rdr.pvt server actually shutoff?

[samuel]

No.
Is it asking for the pool name or the name of the server that xenserver is running on?
