Monitoring with Nagios

[srevel131]

Hi,

We're looking to set up monitoring for our Nimble CS500 via Nagios.  I've been following : Integrate Nagios and Nimble

which looks promising.  Things like the Nimble load, volume and array info should work ok, but I have a question on how I would properly monitor

disk info following that doc.:  The problem I'm having is doing something like :

sleep 39 && ssh adminuser@nimble disk --info 7 >/tmp/nimble/ssd1 will return something like:

Shelf location #: 0

Slot #: 8

HBA: 0

Port: 8

Serial: BTWL345200PV600TGN

Type: SSD

Disk size: 600.127 GB

Disk state: in use

Raid state: N/A

Percent resynchronized: N/A

Current resync speed: N/A

Average resync speed: N/A

Model: INTEL SSDSC2BB60

Vendor: Nimble

Firmware version: 0355

Smart Data Attributes:

But we have a head shelf, and two expansion shelves.  The disk slot # repeats 1-16 for each expansion shelf.  How can I pull data from the command line for unique disks? (e.g in the example above we would be missing the two SSD drives we have in slot 8 in our expansion shelves).    I don't see a way from the commandline to say shelf #,  slot # when doing a check.  Any help is appreciated.

When you add trays, the shelf location changes. so you should be able to pull shelf location and disk to determine location.

Nimble OS $ disk --list

Hi,

We are new to Nimble but not to Nagios.  Well over 12+ years of Nagios usage and we moved to Centreon which is a fork of Nagios and has a way better UI.

I created a nagios/centreon plugin that uses the REST API to tell nagios/centreon about the health of the disks, pool free space, and snapshot quantity.  I am working on more checks as soon as I can move to version 4 of the OS.  I am on version 3.8 and some of the hardware checks are not in this version.  I am hopeful that HPE puts more volume, snapshot, and hardware info in the SNMP MIB since that is easier to work with but the REST API does work too.

The nagios check uses Perl + REST client.

You can download from here

You need to create a read only ID on the SAN and put the id and password in the script or modify it to pass in...enjoy.
