First, great plugin and very useful. Nice to see how simple is HP MSA API.
Wanted to share that with 1 MSA enclosure the plugin works great. We encounter problems when we monitored MSA that has MSA2600 extension enclosure. I found the bug that caused the plugin to exit with CRITICAL exit status, where more then 1 enclosure is attached to the MSA. See reports here at the bottom: http://www.toms-blog.com/nagios-hp-msa-p2000-status-and-performance-monitor/
The problem is that on show/frus API, there are several XML elements added with no fru-shortname value and so fru-status is “Absent”, which reports back to Nagios as critical, although the enclosure status is OK. I fixed it by ignoring those empty XML elements:
