check_lmstat.pl

Project Notes

I tried the check_licenseserver.pl supplied here, but for some reason I couldn't get anything other than zeros out of it, so I did this one which uses Citrix's lmstat tool to get the license data.

In the NSC.ini file:

check_lmstat_cag=perl scriptscheck_lmstat.pl -c $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$
check_lmstat_mps=perl scriptscheck_lmstat.pl -c $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -l mps

And make sure you have allow_arguments=1 in the NRPE section. In nagios services.cfg something like:

define service{
host_name <license host>
service_description CAG Licenses
use remote-service
check_command check_lmstat_cag!20!10
notification_options w,u,c,r
}

In checkcommands.cfg:

define command{
command_name check_lmstat_cag
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -t 40 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_lmstat_cag -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}

define command{
command_name check_lmstat_mps
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -t 40 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_lmstat_mps -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}

And you are away. The above will warn at 20% unused and go critical at 10% unused.

I'm not a perl coder, so it's not perfect, but it works.
