Insight Management Agents

*** LATEST CHANGES: SNMP v3 checking supported, with improvements to code and error handling. Also simplified output some and added ability to pass long style options (--).

This plugin is an attempt to make a global HP/Compaq health plugin. It makes a global check most of the time, only checking other hardware when global status indicates there might be a problem.

If a global check is failed, the following components are checked:

Temperatures
Fans
Power Supplies
Logical Drives
Physical Drives
Memory Errors

As the code progresses, output is built on any failed components, allowing status information to be comprehensive. Additionally, not only is the general area of failure indicated, but any specific information available is given. Every effort has been made keep the information user-friendly and not too technical.

This plugin has been in production in our environment for for years and was tested rigorously with some erratic servers.

Usage for SNMP v1/2c:
check_insight_agents -H {host/IP} [-C {SNMP community}]

Usage for SNMP v3:
check_insight_agents -v 3 -H {host/IP} -u {user} -x {protocol} -X {password} -a {protocol} -A {password} -l {security mode}


Please look out for my other Compaq/HP plugin, check_insight_log!
