Check SMART status modified

if you see error like: UNKNOWN: No health status line found Add to sudoers: nagios ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl

a) Package "sudo" is required b) Dangerous settings in /etc/sudoers are required b) User "nagios" needs shell like /bin/bash c) Selinux complaints, gosh why could that be xD d) Script it self needs fiddling until it works Don't use this script if you don't want to compromise your system security! Try using the official check_ide_smart plugin! Sorry, only my opinion. Anyway thanks to the creator of this script for investing time.

If you receive NRPE error "UNKNOWN: No health status line found", check that you have added "/usr/bin/sudo " into nrpe.cfg before command like this: command[check_smart]=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smart -i $ARG1$ -d $ARG2$ And now in the file /etc/sudoers at the end add line: nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smart now try: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -c check_smart -a ata /dev/sda and you will got: OK: no SMART errors detected|Raw_Read_Error_............ :)

To handle SAT interface drives, modify line 65 to: if(grep {$opt_i eq $_} ('ata', 'sat', 'scsi', 'megaraid')){ Cool - now trying to set up graphs (anybody got any examples ??)

Always check if SELINUX is disabled. I was getting "NRPE: Unable to read output" until figured out that SELINUX is enabled. After disabling SELINUX, plugin works just fine!

Requires a little bit of fiddling. If you get a No Health Status Line error with NRPE there is a fix for this. What I did to resolve this issues was go to /etc/passwd My nagios user was : nagios:x:108:119::/var/lib/nagios:/bin/false I changed it to : nagios:x:108:119::/var/lib/nagios:/bin/sh And now it's working like a charm. Hopefully this helps some one. It took me forever to figure out why It wasn't working auto-magically, but worked when I ran the command manually.

Hi, first of all many thanks for your effort in modifying this plugin to make it useable with megaraid controlers. Could it be that the plugin might be confused sometimes about its own results? In my RAID1 on an PERC/5 on the command line check_smart -d /dev/sda -n [0|1] -i megaraid --debug produces right results of the smart's status of both HDDs on the screen, so far the script works completely okay. But as the final results I get: ################################################## (debug) FINAL STATUS: UNKNOWN ################################################## (debug) final status/output: UNKNOWN: No health status line found| although both HDDs are okay according to the other results of check_smartd. Any help would be appreciated.

Actually using the scsi interface instead of the ata. The caveat with the /etc/sudoers = check for and comment the "Defaults requiretty" line.

first i was getting a sudo error so i installed sudo. then i had the line 110 error so i added the line if (!defined($number)) { $number = 0; } in 110 but i started to get unknown state in command line then i added the 2 line on 110 which are : if (!defined($number)) { $number = 0; } if ($interface eq 'megaraid'.",".$number or $interface eq 'scsi'){ so when i run: ./check_smart -i ata -d /dev/sda i get: OK: no SMART errors detected|Raw_Read_Error_Rate=0 Spin_Up_Time=3175 Start_Stop_Count=0 Reallocated_Sector_Ct=0 Seek_Error_Rate=0 Power_On_Hours=30537 Spin_Retry_Count=0 Calibration_Retry_Count=0 Power_Cycle_Count=37 Power-Off_Retract_Count=25 Load_Cycle_Count=37 Temperature_Celsius=42 Reallocated_Event_Count=0 Current_Pending_Sector=0 Offline_Uncorrectable=0 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count=0 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate=0 but then when i define it in nrpe as: command[check_smart]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smart -i ata -d /dev/sda and in nagios as: define service{ use local-service host_name storage service_description smart WD check_command check_nrpe!check_smart! notifications_enabled 1 i get as output in nagios: critical: NRPE: Unable to read output anyone had it work through nrpe?

How do i configure for NRPE. Nagios now tells me "UNKNOWN: No health status line found" But when i run the command like: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smart -i ata -d /dev/sda1 I get: OK: no SMART errors detected|Raw_Read_Error_Rate=0 Spin_Up_Time=5258 Start_Stop_Count=58 Reallocated_Sector_Ct=0 Seek_Error_Rate=0 Power_On_Hours=31969 Spin_Retry_Count=0 Calibration_Retry_Count=0 Power_Cycle_Count=58 Temperature_Celsius=28 Reallocated_Event_Count=0 Current_Pending_Sector=0 Offline_Uncorrectable=0 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count=17 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate=0 NRPE config: command[check_smart]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smart -i ata -d $ARG1$ Nagios Service: define service{ use generic-service host_name XXXX service_description S.M.A.R.T. /dev/sda1 check_command check_nrpe!check_smart!/dev/sda1 }

The plugin did not process the status for me correctly as it was always selecting the SCSI/MEGARAID line_str to match on due to a comparison error. Line 110 is as follows in the download: if ($interface eq 'megaraid'.",".$number or 'scsi'){ Replace this line by the following 2 lines below: if (!defined($number)) { $number = 0; } if ($interface eq 'megaraid'.",".$number or $interface eq 'scsi'){ Aside from this the plugin works brilliant!

Regarding the warning: just add the following line @110 : if (!defined($number)) { $number = 0; }

Hi, There is a small bug in plugin. When I run it in RHEL with ./check_smart -d /dev/sda -i ata --debug I get Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./check_smart line 110. Quite obviously the problem is that $number variable in this line is not set. So to get it working I had to comment out the megaraid check. Everything else works great. Thanks
