Monitor HPE Nimble Storage

In the current tip of the month, we describe how you can monitor HPE Nimble Storage using SNAG-View.

You can currently monitor the following parameters:

  • Array
  • Hardware
  • Volumes

Installation:

The plugin nimble.pl must be copied to libexec-customer

Necessary Perl modules:

perl-Types-Serialiser
perl-JSON-XS
perl-common-sense

As an API user, a "read" user must be set up in the HPE storage.

Checkcommand:

$USER2$/nimble.pl --mode $ARG1$ --hostname $HOSTADDRESS$ --port 5392 --api-username {nimbel_user} --api-password '{nimbel_pass}'  --insecure

Note: Be careful not to change or delete existing <item> entries.

Example:

Beispiel $User3$

We currently ship two predefined macros: "$USER1$ and $USER2$". After the change, the macro $USER3$ is available for the path /var/lib/nagios/libexec-customer2.

The script "/usr/bin/createNagiosCfg.sh" is then executed, so that the configuration is saved and saved in the resource.cfg.
