Check and count ZFS snapshots as well as check their age

This is a small check plugin I wrote for our ZFS file storages.

• Tested on Solaris only.
• That's why GNU tools are hardcoded. This may change in further releases.
• Perhaps, it will be working on Linux as well after some changes, but I never tested that - in fact, we have no ZFS on Linux at all.
• It runs in production on our servers, and it is written for them - status worksforme ;) As the community asked me, I provide it here, but you'll be probably not able to use it without further intervention.

Usage

zfs_snapshots.sh [ -c  ] [ -w  ] -d 
  -c : Optional: CRITICAL snapshot age in hours (default: 12h)
  -d : dataset to check
  -w : Optional: WARNING snapshot age in hours (default: 6h)

Example

./zfs_snapshots.sh -d Data01/archives
OK: got snapshot(s) for Data01/archives within the last 6 hours.
Creation of last snapshot: January 18, 2018 at 10:15:00 AM CET (timezone is Europe/Berlin)

  - 40 hourly snapshot(s) for Data01/archives
  - 7 daily snapshot(s) for Data01/archives
  - 3 weekly snapshot(s) for Data01/archives
  - 1 monthly snapshot(s) for Data01/archives
  - 1 yearly snapshot(s) for Data01/archives
|last_ago=641;21600;43200;0;43200; hourly=40;;;;; daily=7;;;;; weekly=3;;;;; monthly=1;;;;; yearly=1;;;;;

You can process your performance data and create cool Grafana dashboards; I'm using templating, so every admin can explicitly select ZFS server and needed dataset on it.
