Presenting check_zpools - a Nagios plugin to monitor zfs pools

Written by - 2 comments

Published on - Listed in Nagios Solaris BSD Unix Monitoring ZFS


This week I compared several Nagios plugins to monitor zfs pools (see article Monitor zfs pools - which Nagios plugin should be used?). After having compared seven plugins found on exchange.nagios.org,  I finally decided to continue with plugin number 3 (check_zpools), a bash/shell plugin.

Although the plugin already "did its job", I had to make some changes anyway to guarantee compatibility to both Solaris and FreeBSD systems. Besides that I completely revamped the plugin; I added help, options and thresholds for pool usage and changed the "design" of the plugin.

The modified plugin can be found on my github account:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Napsty/check_zpools/master/check_zpools.sh

I successfully tested it on the following operating systems (no modifications or additional installations are necessary):
- Solaris 10
- Open Solaris 11
- SmartOS
- FreeBSD 8.3

I asked the author of the last version to merge my modifications, so I think the my adapted version will soon be available on Nagios Exchange.

Thanks, Andreas, for the information. Seems that github has changed the URLs for the raw files. New link is: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Napsty/check_zpools/master/check_zpools.sh
I will update the article.
