Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I am new to Nagios. I have multiple PB of Isilon storage that I would like to monitor and maintain trending data on. I am particularly interested in monitoring the clusters down to the disk levels. I would like to be alerted when diskloads get high or start thrashing.

I have installed XI.

I have found an Isilon plugin, but I cannot tell if it will do what I require: http://verypowerful.info/home/monitorin ... ith-nagios

The plugin installation appears rather complicated. Even the first step copying the .cfg file to the etc/objects directory is not correct as there is no object directory in XI.

Or is the etc/components the XI equivalent directory to the Nagios etc/objects directory?

I wonder if anyone knows if this has been done successfully with XI? Should I try with Nagios light?

Thank you for all and any help.

This plugin should work fine, on this step:

You are actually copying one of their example service configuration files. You could open this file and mirror what it's definitions are into a server you are creating via the CCM. Or you could place it in: And use a static configuration. Just be sure that you alter the cfg file to use definitions that are valid for your environment "contact names / host names / time periods" to name a few.
