check_megaraid_sas

check_megaraid_sas plugin (rev. 12)

Project Notes
This plugin calls LSI's MegaCli utility to determine the health of disks and logical drive units attached to Megraid SAS controllers. It has been tested by the author on Dell PERC 5 & 6 controllers, but should work well with any controller supported by the MegaCli tool.

Using via nrpe in windows
by Aposwolf, September 30, 2015

To make it work on windows servers you just have to set the megaclibin variable to your megacli.exe like my $megaclibin = 'C:MegaCLIconfigmegacli.exe'; and make it readable for perl $megaclibin =~ s#\#/#g; plus copy the utils.pm from your nagios to the perl lib on the windows server. Then it works very well! Great job!


check_megaraid_sas v2
by morty, May 31, 2015

This is a great plugin. But it needed some updates. A new version of this plugin has been posted that incorporates some new features, various patches from this page and some bugfixes. New features include options to check the cache policy, ignore consistency checks, ignore missing MegaCli, ignore lack of a battery, and use sudo. Posted here: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Storage-Systems/RAID-Controllers/check_megaraid_sas-v2/details


Running via NRPE
by innerwiz, October 31, 2013

When running via NRPE: This plugin uses sudo to load /usr/sbin/MegaCli. /etc/sudoers must be modified to allow nagios to run this command as root. AND you must comment out the "Defaults requiretty" line as follows: # Defaults requiretty nagios ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/MegaCli


"OK: Drives:0" error

Parity Size reported as Size
by erezzarum, November 30, 2012

On line 144 change: if ( m/Sizes*:s*((d+.?d*)s*(MB|GB|TB))/ ) { to if ( m/^Sizes*:s*((d+.?d*)s*(MB|GB|TB))/ ) { or else it will report the "Parity Size" as the size of that logical device.


bug in size reporting
by ArTourter, May 31, 2012

Thanks for this very useful tools. It works the treat on our SUN and IBM servers. However there is a bug preventing the accurate report of array size when the strip size is reported in MB. however fixing it is simple: on line 144 replace if ( m/Sizes*:s*((d+.?d*)s*(MB|GB|TB))/ ) { with if ( m/^Sizes*:s*((d+.?d*)s*(MB|GB|TB))/ ) {

Great tool; patch for BBU and Consistency Check
by silfreed, April 30, 2011

This is a great tool; we recently added a patch to support BBU checks (-b flag) and output a warning for consistency checks. http://pastebin.com/udTLmBiU


patch
by guybrush, November 30, 2010

I like your plugin, but found a bug: If the script fails for any reason it just reports: OK: Drives 0 This is actually misleading, because it does not check the Drives at all. I wrote a bugfix for that: just BEFORE the last line (exitreport($status, $result);) add: if ( $pdcount
