Do I need that sp part? the IP address is the SP so I just label it as such. But if the command needs it Ill add it!

With the script I need to do calculations based on the last successful check of the tick values. I store these tick values in a file in /tmp. On the next successful check I overwrite this file with the latest tick values. I needed to name the file something and I didn't want data from different SP checks getting mixed up. This is why I chose to enforce the --sp option so my file would be named uniquely. For example I monitor both SP's on my Nagios host so I end up with the following files in /tmp : check_emc_clariion_cbtbusy_192.168.100.201_A_tmp and check_emc_clariion_cbtbusy_192.168.100.202_B_tmp.

Fantastic! Cue the applause! Definitely jives with Navisphere stats!

Great stuff, it's good to get the result we were after. With the formula you provided we were able to work together to make it happen

I had noticed during my manual sampling that EMC was capable of throwing some "bad data". During one sample the Busy count threw a negative number.

Hmmm interesting. I should probably update the script so that it detects any negative numbers and discards this information and waits for the next check. I'll have a play with this and get back to you.

That would be awesome! It would definitely fix whats going on here. Ill look at it from the EMC side to see why that might happen. Its definitely that particular SP thats the issue. It had another anomoly last night. But when you look at the 4 hour view the graph looks "normal". THANK YOU! for all your hard work on this its definitely paying off!

Thanks from us as well - always good to see people getting use from another wizard.

Indeed, makes it worthwhile

(Script poke)

Both SP's are doing this now on occasion. Any luck with this?

I've been a little distracted of recent. I'll get onto this soon.

Your new version is working very well! Spiking anomoly has been resolved and the graphs look great for Dirty Pages AND Percentage Busy now! Managers are very pleased with the way this is working! Thank you VERY much for your diligence and hard work on this! Thanks Again!

Great to hear all is working well Randy. I've updated the Wizard to include the updated plugin that has these changes and is available on the Nagios Exchange.

Always good to work on something that others actually use
