Dear Nagios experts, sorry to bother you on this board but I'm freezed on a vital needs for which I'm testing Nagios XI
I need to monitor physical disks and arrays of the company's remote HP proliant servers,
I have found the following plugin : check_cciss-1.11 and I loaded it into Nagios but now I have to configure it in Nagios Core Config Manager / Command Management.
What string should I put in the field "Command Line" to have it running?

Many thanks in advance for your precious help
Davide

Dear Nagios experts,

I have followed the HOW TO: managing plugin guide.
I have uploaded and configured the commadn line for check_cciss plugin.
Now, when I run the command , I have this output:

Testing check from command line...

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_cciss-1.11 $HOSTNAME$
OUTPUT: RAID UNKNOWN - HP Smart Array not found


Please note that the ACU CLI of remote server is updated to the latest version.

Does anyone have managed this plugin working?

Many thanks in advance
Best Regards
David

Did you copy the plugin to the remote host, install nrpe, and configure nrpe.cfg for the new command? This plugin is a local plugin, so it must be checked through nrpe or another agent. If you have followed all these previous steps, test the plugin from the cli on the remote host:

On the Remote host:

Code: Select all

$ cd [path to plugin directory]
$ ./check_cciss -v 
You should receive output resembling:

Code: Select all

RAID OK: Smart Array 6i in Slot 0 array A logicaldrive 1 (67.8 GB, RAID 1+0, OK) (Controller Status: OK Cache Status: OK Battery Status: OK)
