1 - Purpose


    

  • 

    an alternative way to check your Coraid Device
    

    • 

  • 

    allow you to check : disks and raid state, if you still have spare disk
    

    • 



  and so on...



  (ftp://ftp.alyseo.com/pub/partners/Coraid/Tools/) programs instead of Java


2 - Installation


First you have to install expect


    $ sudo apt-get install expect (adapt this command line to your distrib)


and cec


    just download the source and run the make command


3 - Content


    check_coraid.pl : the main script. You will have to run only this


           script


    expect_scripts : this folder contains all the scripts which retrieve


          informations from the Coraid device.


          You never have to touch to this folder and its contain


4 - Howto use


First you have to edit the following variables of check_coraid.pl


(Path variables) and adapt it to your configuration :


    statedir : path to save expect scripts outputs


    cec : path to cec program


    expect : path to expect program


    expect_script : path to expect_scripts folder


Add the following entry to your sudoers file to have the good privileges to run


the check_coraid.pl script :


    nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: //check_coraid.pl


Then just run this command line to display help :


    $ sudo //check_coraid.pl -h


5 - Examples of use


    

  • To show all disks UP with extra information for the shelf 0 on the bond0
    • 



  interface


$ sudo //check_coraid.pl -s 0 -a show -i bond0 -m


CHECK CORAID - show - OK - (0.0,1000.205GB) (0.1,1000.205GB) (0.2,1000.205GB) (0.14,1000.205GB) are detected as UP - 4 disks UP


    

  • To show all spare disks with extra information for the shelf 0 on the
    • 



  bond0 interface


$ sudo //check_coraid.pl -s 0 -a spare -i bond0 -m


CHECK CORAID - spare - OK - (0.10,1000.205.GB) (0.11,1000.205GB) detected as SPARE - 2 disk(s) as SPARE


6 - Examples of NRPE integration


NRPE server configuration (typically /etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg) :


command[check_coraid_spare]=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_coraid.pl -s 1 -i bond0 -p -a spare


command[check_coraid_raid]=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_coraid.pl -s 1 -i bond0 -p -a raid


command[check_coraid_show]=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_coraid.pl -s 1 -i bond0 -p -a show


command[check_coraid_when]=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_coraid.pl -s 1 -i bond0 -p -a when


Don't forget to restart the nrpe daemon :


$ sudo /etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server restart


From your monitoring node, you only have to call the script just like this :


$ //check_nrpe -H $host_ip -c check_coraid_spare


May be you have to specify a timeout value, in this case call the script like this :


$ //check_nrpe -H $host_ip -c check_coraid_spare -t 15


 


7- Info


May be you have to adapt the except script to your config


    

  • 

    may be you have to change the cec prompt start (depends ofyour coraid firmware
    

    • 

  • 

    in the same way the escape character could be different but according to the cec manpage with the -e option you can specify which character you will use to exit the cec command line interface... be aware !
