This plugin uses xm, can you try running xm from the cli on the xen server?

Code: Select all

xm list csxen01.rdr.pvt

xm is currently not installed.
That man page will be helpful, but I can't figure out how to install xm.

I talked with my boss for a bit about the xenserver and it looks like we are runing XCP.
It uses xe commands.

It does not look like there is a plugin on the exchange for XCP. You may have to write your own script to check the pool.

I think I can base it off check_xen.
Just change it from xm to xe commands.
I need to find a way to monitor how much cpu, memory, disk space, and vm's are being used.
Would you guys know any commands that would show this?
I'll be looking for these commands, so if I find anything I will let you know.

Refer back to the exchange search for more plugins: http://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?op ... chword=xen

If you wish to monitor the guests/vms directly, you should use agents and plugins for the guest OS.

Will do.
No I am already monitoring those vms with other services.
For the vms I just need to know how many are running or down.

2nd message:

I found out how to monitor memory.

Code: Select all

    xe host-list param=memory-total
    xe host-list param=memory-free

Also how to see if Xen is running.

Code: Select all

    xe host-list params=host-metrics-live

I was not aware you were is need of more help. What metrics do you (presumably) still need monitoring for?
