We are adding a filter for the check VolumeState to include or exclude specific nodes, using the same logic with ‑‑exclude|‑X and‑‑include|‑I switches previously seen in many other checks. With the introduction of the new ‑exclude_nodes and ‑‑include_nodesswitches we can now restrict the nodes that should be monitored. …
In order to monitor the configuration-health of Metro-Cluster Servers we are introducing a new check: MetroClusterVserver , monitoring all or specific Vservers. The check can be configured to monitor the Vservers of a specific node and/or those fitting a specific naming pattern. Furthermore, the switch --skip_reason …
As of the next release, DiskPaths will skip unassigned disks (e.g. disks left over after an aggregate has been destroyed) since it is not its job to identify them. Skipped disks can be viewed with -verbose. From now on it is important to configure Disk Check with -what=unassigned. A best practice is not to leave any …
As of release 3.5.0 it will be possible to configure checks so that the non-existence of instances does not trigger an alarm. The default configuration won’t change, meaning that an UNKNOWN will still be sent when the performance getter (performance collectors) don’t find volumes, disks, luns, etc… …
Current versions of check_netapp_pro.pl ignore the --timeout|-t parameter (which limits the runtime of the check). This only affects checks listed with check_netapp_pro.pl. Getter and setter and stand-alone checks are not affected. Since** check_netapp_pro.pl reads data from the local stores, timeouts very rarely …
Our new DiskCount check counts available disks on a system. This can be quite handy when setting a filter, e.g. only counting SSD drives in the spare container. This way, one can use thresholds to send warning messages as soon as the number of spare SSD disks falls below a certain threshold. In contrast to the …
We are currently developing a check that detects the blocked but unused blocks of LUNs and that sends an alarm if a specified threshold has been reached. This check will most likely be used to notify admins that it is time to tell the VMWare ESX server via _unmap _to free unused blocks. Please find more information …
ClusterPeerHealth , a new check currently in development, that will allow for continuously monitoring of the different nodes for a Metro Cluster as well as their availability. Health and other status information and various “pings” (data, icmp) will be used for evaluation. Please find information about our …
