Nagios Support Forum

This wizard allows you to monitor the EMC SAN from within Nagios.

If you already have a monitoring / reporting solution in place for your EMC SAN then perhaps this is not for you.

If you were trying to implement Nagios as your central monitoring solution then this wizard makes it easy to integrate this monitoring into Nagios.

Instead of using two seperate tools for monitoring / reporting you could cut this back to just one (Nagios).

Thank you very much very creating this, fantastic work as always!

The Wizard is nice but it did not provide the info my bosses were looking for. HOWEVER, since it did require the installation of the Navisphere CLI{NOT full blown Navisphere} it has allowed me the ability to execute just about any Navisphere command securely in Nagios and get that data. IE; dirty pages %, utilization % Now if I can only get it to graph!

Great idea. Post the commands you are using to get this data. I can modify the existing plugin and add additional checks that will return the results as performance data that will be graphed.

Hi rredmond,
I saw your other post and was able to take the command and add it to the check_emc_clariion.pl plugin to produce the performance graph you are after.
Have a play with the attached updated plugin and let me know if this is what you are after.

Attachment removed as it is now outdated, most up to date version of the plugin can be downloaded from the Nagios Exchange.

The command to use is: Are there any other features/suggestions that you need added to the check_emc_clariion.pl plugin?

Awesome! I will give that a try today! Here is one of the commands I was using:

/opt/Navisphere/bin/./naviseccli -User xxxxxx -Password xxxxxxx -Scope 0 -h $ARG1$ getcache -pdp

That graph is BEAUTIFUL! Exactly what they are looking for!

Awesome! graph is exactly what they wanted. I asked for further "wishes" and so far they have suggested SP CPU Utilization and some of the data contained in the "getcontrol" command but Im not sure how to parse that out.....yet! You guys rock! Thank you very much for your help with this!

It looks like this has been resolved thanks to Box293, stellar work as always and thank you!

Great stuff, glad it's what you were after.

I've added two more checks to the plugin (sp_busy and sp_idle) using the getcontrol command.

I've added these to the configuration wizard and have uploaded it to the Nagios Exchange.

Have a play and let me know what you think.

Enjoy

I think I have found SP Utilization. According to EMC it checks the SP every 100ms to see if its busy. It is not a CL command that produces that number in Navisphere. However, using "getcontrol -cbt" produces busy and idle stats which could also be used to produce an SP Utilization percentage after a quick calculation. What do you think?
