Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
we have a new requirement to monitor raid controller health. Does nagios provide any plugins that can do this?
i did google for third party nagios plugins to monitor raid controller, not sure which one would work for my server.
This is the raid info i found
$ lspci | grep RAID
03:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 [Invader] (rev 02)
I want to know if i can leverage nagios tool to monitor this RAID device.

Can anyone help?

I am monitoring about 2000 raid controllers using check_lsi_raid [it requires storcli, the newer version of MegaRaidUtil] from here:

https://github.com/thomas-krenn/check_lsi_raid

As long as its not Cisco hardware. That crap is a nightmare due to there non standard logs / id codes

hi,
thank you so much for responding back. i was able to download the plugin, install the strocli and perl dependencies.
$ lspci | grep RAID
02:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2008 [Falcon] (rev 03)
This means that i have a RAID device on my server correct?
when i execute the following command i see
$/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0/eall/sall show all
Controller = 0
Status = Failure
Description = Controller 0 not found
i tried executing the plugin
$/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_lsi_raid -C 1 -p /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64
Error: invalid controller number, controller not found!

Am i missing something here? This stuff is new for me. Can you please help!

looks like your Controller ID is 0 or it is saying their are no controllers found, not sure.

Try full disclosure we do not have this equipment in house so I cannot test it.

Try this to get your controller details:

bommer@XX-001 0 11:53:10 ~ $ sudo /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /call show
[sudo] password for bommer:

Thanks for helping @bomahony

this is what i see after running the command

# ./check_lsi_raid -C 0 -p /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64
OK (CTR, LD, PD, CV)|CV_Temperature=24;70;85 ROC_Temperature=56;85;95 c0/e8/s0_Drive_Temperature=24;40;45 c0/e8/s1_Drive_Temperature=25;40;45 c0/e8/s2_Drive_Temperature=24;40;45 c0/e8/s3_Drive_Temperature=24;40;45 c0/e8/s4_Drive_Temperature=24;40;45 c0/e8/s5_Drive_Temperature=24;40;45

it seems to be giving out a set of temperature readings.

attached a file that has out of the command
/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /call show it seems to me that the plugin is working. I need to know if any of the disks has any issues and alert based on that.
Any inputs as to how to tweak this plugin to get the info i need?

I agree.

I looked over the plugin and it does check for a whole bunch of issues automatically (you just don't have any so it is reporting OK)
It looks for the following on the controller and a bunch of other items on the Physical disk, Virtual disks and the CV module. You can add -vvv to the plugin when running from the command line to see more verbose output

ahh, so if any of the parameters are in critcal state it would return critical status and tell what exactly is the issue.

correct, at least that is what I deduced looking over the plugin code.
