Hi all,
So I am looking to monitor raid in remote systems, for disk failures etc.
I have had a look on google and cannot seem to find much, any help would be greatly appreciated
.
I have managed to setup the SMART plugin and have attached print screens however I am unsure on how to configure it. Any information or advise would be fantastic
.
Many Thanks,
Steven Parsons

In your service definition, you'll want to pass an $ARG1$ value of the disk you would like to check. For example -
Code: Select all
check_command check_ide_smart!/dev/sda
Currently you aren't doing so. To test over the CLI, try something like this -
Code: Select all
./check_ide_smart -n -d /dev/sda
OK - Operational (17/17 tests passed)

Hi both,
Many Thanks for your help I got this going brill!
Out of interest, if I wanted to check a remote server (Windows 2012 R2), is there a way I can get Nagios to check for disk failures in a raid?
Cheers,
Steve

It depends if it's a hard / soft raid setup, but you might be able to. You may be able to using NSClient++, or possibly SNMP. Take a look at our Exchange (
https://exchange.nagios.org) to see if you can find a plugin that would work for your needs.
