Powershell NRPE NSClient script for HP SmartArray check

I added on to the script felix has created above. This one will return OK with spare drives and return a more specific error to Nagios... --- $array_config_util = 'C:Program Files (x86)CompaqHpacucliBinhpacucli.exe' try { $exec = & $array_config_util 'ctrl all show config' #Write-Output $exec } catch { Write-Host "Problem checking array status (hint: nagioscheck_smartarray.ps1)" exit 3 } # filter results for lines that talk about drives (physicaldrive, logicaldrive) # and do not end with "OK": $not_OK = $exec | Where-Object { $_ -like "*drive*" } | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "*OK)"} | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "*OK, spare)"} if ($not_OK.length -lt 2) { Write-Host "Array status appears OK" Write-Host $not_OK exit 0 } Write-Host "Array status not OK;" $not_OK #write-Host $not_OK exit 2 ---

any news on: Cannot index into a null array. At C:Program FilesNSClient++scriptscheck_smartarray.ps1:94 char:77 + return ($state ?

I also had trouble with this script on our servers. In particular, it returned a false "OK" status when I pulled a drive out of the array. I tried debugging it for a bit, but ended up getting frustrated and just rewrote it much shorter: ---- #### # # NAME: check_smartarray.ps1 # # ABOUT: Checks the output of HP's Array Configuration Utility for Smart Array # RAID controllers, and tries to detect any problems with array status. # # This was inspired by Christophe Robert's "Powershell NRPE NSClient # script for HP SmartArray check", found here: # http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Server-Hardware/HP-(Compaq)/Powershell-NRPE-NSClient-script-for-HP-SmartArray-check/details # That one seemed a bit complicated, so I shortened it. # # AUTHOR: Felix Howe # # DISCLAIMER: I don't warrant this code as being suitable for anything; # use at your own risk.

Looking forward to this plugin but getting some errors: Any thoughts? Running on win2k3 x64. I have a few print here statements trying to locate where the errors are coming from. c:Userseric.aikenDownloads>powershell -File check_smartarray.ps1 -t30 -c check_raid here0 Smart Array P410i in Slot 0 (Embedded) (sn: 5001438018A01EB0) array A (SAS, Unused Space: 0 MB) logicaldrive 1 (1.6 TB, RAID 5, OK) physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK) physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK) physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK) SEP (Vendor ID PMCSIERA, Model SRC 8x6G) 250 (WWID: 5001438018A01EBF) here1 Smart Array P410i in Slot 0 (Embedded) (sn: 5001438018A01EB0) array A (SAS, Unused Space: 0 MB) logicaldrive 1 (1.6 TB, RAID 5, OK) physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK) physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK) physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK) SEP (Vendor ID PMCSIERA, Model SRC 8x6G) 250 (WWID: 5001438018A01EBF) here2 Name Value ---- ----- Array 0 - lv System.Collections.DictionaryEntry Array 0 - pd {System.Collections.DictionaryEntry, System.Collections.DictionaryEntry, System.Collections.Dictiona...

Returns OK but status information show: "Cannot index into a null array." Looking forward to an updated version!

Same error here.

When run against my server, Nagios is reporting the following under Status Information: The string starting: At line:1 char:2 + - cordException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TerminatorExpectedAtEndOfString At least it returns with a Status of 'OK'
