Sure! 10:55 I fire off first command.
[root@nagios-lxv bin]# ./naviseccli -User xxxxx -Password XXXXX -Address 192.168.9.22 -Scope 0 getcontrol -cbt
Controller busy ticks: 2135898179
Controller idle ticks: 2521204939

10:57 I fire off command again.
[root@nagios-lxv bin]# ./naviseccli -User xxxxx -Password XXXXX -Address 192.168.9.22 -Scope 0 getcontrol -cbt
Controller busy ticks: 2135899334
Controller idle ticks: 2521205427

Busy differential = 1155
Idle differential = 488
Total differential = 1643
1155/1643= .7029 = 70% Busy

This percentage is usually within a percentage point of Navisphere statistics. Ive sampled this many times manually and I think it may be a viable statistic. If you can script it out and graph it I think we will be in business! You rock!

Hi rredmond,
I've been able to update the plugin to do the calculations and all looks good. You'll find the updated wizard on Nagios Exchange which also includes the updated plugin.

Let me know how this goes and if the data is accurately represented in the graphs.

Enjoy

Nice! I will definitely be testing this this week!

Anyway you can email it to me? The site seems to not want to let me download it!

This command does not seem to be working with IP Address of the SP being ARG1:

$USER1$/check_emc_clariion.pl -H $ARG1$ -u nagios -p XXXXX -t sp_cbt_busy

Its Monday so Im sure its something Ive got wrong

$USER1$/check_emc_clariion.pl -H $ARG1$ -u nagios -p XXXXX -t sp_cbt_busy --sp y

Where y is a or b

I can email it to you later, just not near a computer right now.

Do I need that sp part? the IP address is the SP so I just label it as such. But if the command needs it Ill add it!

Fantastic! Cue the applause! Definitely jives with Navisphere stats!

OK, one note. On one of my new SP% services is showing a status of 36.97 or 40.00% but graphing 1.4k-10k. Very bizzare. It was not like that when I first set it up....I dont think! It is the only one of the 4 I set up thats doing it. I was thinking about blowing it away and redoing it but thought I would check in first. I built a different one pointing to the same SP and it did the same thing. Again, the Status in Services shows the correct percentage but the graph is showing 1k-10k increments. Any advice would be helpful. Ill keep playing. The other SP b service is tracking fine!

Must be still Monday. I see what happened. Some bad data skewed the graph. There was an impossible numeric spike of 9.8K % during one of the checks that mucked up the graph. I had noticed during my manual sampling that EMC was capable of throwing some "bad data". During one sample the Busy count threw a negative number. I wonder if thats the case here? I can look at the raw data right? Can I blow away the xml or the rrd effectively "resetting" the graph? K, Ive already asked way too many questions
