Nagios Support Forum

I need to check a few OSX (10.8.x) systems to verify local NFS mounts (to a remote system, not local exports). The existing script will not work, due to it needing /proc and /etc/mtab.

I've looked in the nagios exchange and only found server monitoring.

Since OSX is not my specialty, I wonder if someone here may have a shell script solution I can plug in to Nagios and make the monitoring system happy.


Thanks.

There are a few scripts here - not sure if they are going to work (OSX is not my specialty either.).

You can run checks locally (on the remote machines), and use NRPE.

I did look there; the scripts are geared towards Linux-type systems. OSX does things a little differently. I know that there's fstab, but it's managed otherwise. Lots of differences.

You can probably use: or showmount...

Once you figure out what check would work for you, you can run it via NRPE.

The diskutil command refers only to local mounts (not NFS mounts, at least). Showmount is intended for checking remote systems -- it doesn't work properly on this OSX station as it's not exporting any NFS mounts, only importing.

To add to Ludmil's statement - you will need to find a cli utility that can check the metric you want from the mounted filesystem. Then you could create a wrapper script to be run from nrpe.
