Recap So in the previous post I put together a simple script for getting the data out of a specified registry entry that handled the REG DWORD BIG ENDIAN data type. In this one I’ll go over the general process of getting the registry based perf data into Zabbix and setting up alerting based on it. Setting [...] This is just an update, but the scripts I wrote for use with Nagios and ESX3i seem to work just fine with ESX4i (at least in my home lab environment using Dell Poweredge 2850s). Background This is the first of a couple of posts on how I’ve cobbled together some basic monitoring of Neverfail’s Neverfail Heartbeat H/A software which is also now the basis for VMWare’s vCenter Server Heartbeat. Since Neverfail seems to consider their command lines privileged information I will only cover how to do some simple monitoring using [...] Where I work we use AppAssure’s Replay product to back up some of our Exchange servers. Because the servers in question are very geographically dispersed we have multiple servers running Replay. Monitoring and keeping an eye on them to assure backups are happening properly was requiring more time than I wanted to spend because we [...] I was working today on trying to write some scripts to help me better monitor our various installations of Neverfail. The command line tools they provide don’t provide all the performance information I need but (strangely enough) they do write some of it into the Registry where it gets updated very frequently. In [...] One of the things I wanted to check in looking at Zabbix was how hard it would be to use the Nagios plugins I wrote/modified for monitoring ESX 3i in Zabbix. It turns out that they are usable pretty much as is though there is a minor modification that needs to be [...] I’ve been working with one of my coworkers in looking at Zabbix for monitoring rather than Nagios for the Global Ops Virtualization rollout. I’ve already done work on some monitoring of ESX3i with Nagios by writing some plugins to monitor different hardware components. (For more info see this blog post) Zabbix supports multiple methods of checking [...] I had a little time today and needed to mentally switch gears so I took a look again at the 3i storage script for Nagios and made some changes to it to clean it up a little bit. I also made clones…er …versions rather…. for monitoring CPU status, memory status, and sensor data (i.e. fan [...] In earlier posts when I mentioned the use of IPMI I don’t think I ever circled back around on where we stood with that. While we can get some information about the status of the hardware via IPMI I haven’t been able to figure out how to get at the array controller to get the [...] |
