Modes

API

Following checks are performed via the FreeNAS API (v1). Only https and user root is possible.

Alerts

Check outstanding alerts.

./check_freenas.rb -s freenas.example.com -u root -p  [-k] -m alerts
Warning - smartd is not running

Updates

Notifies of available updates.

./check_freenas.rb -s freenas.example.com -u root -p  [-k] -m updates
Warning - There are pending updates. Go to System > Update to apply pending updates

Datasets usage

Check used space in MB of all datasets with perfdata. Use include/exclude option to limit output.

./check_freenas.rb -s freenas.example.com -u root -p  [-k] -m datasets_usage -z tank -i data,home -w 1176000 -c 1185555
Warning - Dataset data used 1176133MB | home=910786MB;1176000;1185555 data=1176133MB;1176000;1185555

Zpool usage

Checks Zpool usage in percentage with perfdata.

./check_freenas.rb -s freenas.example.com -u root -p  [-k] -m zpool_usage -w 30 -c 40 -z tank
OK - tank: usage 60% | tank=60%;70;80

SSH

Following checks are performed through SSH via net-ssh to the FreeNAS host. SSH connection is initiated from the host who executes the plugin.

Dataset quota

Check used space against refquota value. Output will be in percentage (float) with perfdata.

./check_freenas.rb -s freenas.example.com -u  -p  -m dataset_quota_usage -w 70 -c 80 -d tank/data
