Recognizing Dell EquilLogic with Nagios
- by user3677595
EDIT: All firmware and models are compatible, that is why nothing is posted about it.
Okay, so there will be a lot here, so please bare with me. I've been working on this now for a few hours (reading manuals and such) so I'm not just coming here right out of the blue. I am working on a PRE-EXISTING Nagios server where there are several other existing plugins and checks running and working. Now I want to add another server there to check so I made the following modifications:
First and foremost, I added a file to /usr/local/nagios/libexec named: check_equallogic.sh. The permissions are 755, the same as all others. I have chowned to nagios:nagios and in the listing it shows the Owner as Nagios.
I then added a command to the commands.cfg file in \usr\local\nagios\etc\objects that shows the following:
# 'check_equallogic' command definition
define command{
command_name check_equallogic
command_line $USER1$/check_equallogic -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -t $ARG2$ $ARG3$
}
Following this, I created a file named equallogic.cfg in the objects directory and it contains (more or less):
define host{
use linux-server ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name 172.16.50.11 ; The name we're giving to this device
alias EqualLogic ; A longer name associated with the device
address 172.16.50.11 ; IP address of the device
contact_groups admins
}
Check Equallogic Information
define service{
use generic-service
host_name 172.16.50.11
service_description General Information
check_command check_equallogic!public!info
}
After ensuring that permissions are okay for all files, I restart the nagios service, no errors. When I go into the WebGUI, I get the following errors AFTER the check runs:
(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)
Extra, probably unrelated problem
Furthermore, when I log into the EquilLogic server, under Audit logs I get the following error:
Level: AUDIT
Time: 26/05/2014 3:59:13 PM
Member: ps4100-1
Subsystem: agent
Event ID: 22.7.1
SNMP packet validation failed, request received from 172.16.10.11
An snmpwalk receives a timeout, whereas others succeed. I will work on importing the MIBs tomorrow. The reason why I am mentioning it is because I want to make sure that it is only a MIB issue for the SNMP. If it is, then ignore this area.
I am entirely unsure of what to do here.
