check_coraid

Project Notes

<p>Monitor changes on status of a Coraid shelf. Runs commands 'show -l' and
'list -l' and compares output with a previously stored file.</p>

<p>Requirements:</p>

<ul>
<li>Coraid Ethernet Console (cec)</li>
<li>'pexpect' Python module</li>
</ul>

<p>Before using the plugin for monitoring a Coraid device you must store its
output on a file to compare against. You can do it with the option '--create'.
Do it when the Coraid device is in good status.</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<code/>
# check_coraid.py -i eth2 --shelf 0 --create
</code>

<p>This plugin must run 'cec' as root and, if there's a timeout, must be able
to kill it. That means you need something like this on your /etc/sudoers
file.</p>

<code/>
nagios ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_coraid.py
</code>

<p>This is giving full privileges to the script, so please check that no one
can overwrite the Nagios plugin neither the 'cec' binary.</p>

<p>This script is inspired on 'aoe-chk-coraid.sh' by William A. Arlofski
(http://www.revpol.com/coraid_scripts).</p>
