Version Notes: 2011-01-01 * Initial release, tested on Nagios XI 2009R1.3G 2011-03-28 * Added Storage Processors Busy Percentage, Storage Processors Idle Percentage and Percentage Dirty Pages in Cache * Added GNU License 2011-05-08 * Modified plugin to perform an SP Busy check [that uses the controller busy and idle ticks] and returns performance data (sp_cbt_busy). This is more accurate than the (sp_busy and sp_idle) method. 2011-07-18 * Modified the plugin sp_cbt_busy check so it avoids spikes in graphs by checking for invalid values such as "less than 0" or "greater than 100%". * NOTE: You may need to delete the existing check_emc_clariion.pl plugin from the Manage Plugins page for the plugin to be correctly updated 2013-02-10 * Tested on Nagios XI 2012R1.4 * Updated Wizard to follow wizard coding best practices * Updated Wizard to include new checks in the updated check_emc_clariion.pl plugin (new SP Information, LUNs and RAID Groups checks) * check_emc_clariion.pl plugin version 2013-02-09 comes as part of this wizard * Added functionality to test the EMC CLARiiON monitoring account to ensure it will work when services are added * LUNs and RAID Groups checks will populate a list of all the LUNs or RAID Groups that are on the SAN you are going to monitor * Updated installation steps for Navisphere server software and also un-installation steps if you have a previous version * Added a Troubleshooting / Known Problems section * Added ability to select existing SP Host objects on Step 2 of the wizard, makes it easier when coming back later to add more services 2013-03-09 * Updated check_emc_clariion.pl plugin to version 2013-03-09 which adds the following: ** Plugin updated to incorporate new functionality of using a credentials file instead of supplying a username and password. This code was supplied by Uwe Kirbach ** Fixed a bug that was caused by older versions of perl and the use of switch statements. Changed these switch statements to if elsif statements to allow plugin to run on older versions of perl
