dellkit_warranty

NAME dellkit_warranty SYNOPSIS dellkit_warranty -H [hostname] -[tcwvVhCEp] options -E and -C are mutually exclusive (-E is for polling ESXi hosts, -C is for polling hosts using SNMP. DESCRIPTION This is the documentation for dellkit_warranty version 1. dellkit_warranty is a Nagios plugin to check the remaining days of warranty left for Dell hardware. The plugin requires the installation of the SOAP::Lite module, available from your Perl distributor repositories or CPAN. For Linux hosts you can retrieve the Dell service tag information using dmidecode (you need to allow the nagios user to run dmidecode in sudo without a password. This assumes you run the check from NRPE, but then you need to allow the linux hosts access to the internet (no proxy) to poll the host xserv.dell.com (http). Otherwise, for Linux and Windows hosts you may retrieve the service tag using SNMP. This requires the installation of Open Managed Node from Dell and configuring the snmp service/daemon. If you already use (and you should!) the excellent check_openmanage http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/check_openmanage.html you have already this sorted out. For ESXi hosts you need the Config::Tiny module and the VMware Perl SDK. If you already use the excellent check_esx http://goo.gl/5GS0X by OP5 then you are all set; follow the prerequisites instructions here http://goo.gl/Gjx9OV if you do not have it. You also need to create a password file to not pass the ESX username/password on the command line. This password file is a simple lhs = rhs ini format file username = your_esx_username password = yourpassword That's it. After that, change the file's permissions to be 600, that is, only read/write, for the nagios user. ARGUMENTS -H | --host Hostname/ip address of server to monitor (required) -t | --tag Dell service tag number of server to monitor; if you do not specify one on the command line, the script will try to get it from dmidecode (only localhost). If you want to poll a Dell server using SNMP, use the -C switch; if you want to poll a ESXi host, use the -E switch. -V | --version prints the version of this program -v | --verbose prints extra debugging information -w | --warning days before nagios gives a warning; default is 90 -c | --critical days before nagios gives a critical alert; default is 30 -E | --esx to indicate we want to poll a dell server running ESXi using the VMware api (requires installing the VMware Perl SDK) -p | --passwdfile path to the file where the ESXi credentials are stored -C | --community to indicate we want to poll a dell server using SNMP (requires the Open Managed Node software on the host and the Net::SNMP perl library). Right now only snmp version 1 is implemented -h | --help | -? print the full help text AUTHOR natxo asenjo in his spare time EXAMPLES poll an ESXi host dellkit_warranty -H host -E true -p passwordfile poll localhost dellkit_warranty -H localhost poll Windows host using SNMP dellkit_warranty -H windowshost -C communityname poll localhost and get debugging info (it shows the soap conversation with the xserv.dell.com host) dellkit_warranty -H localhost -v COPYRIGHT & LICENSE Copyright Natxo Asenjo This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the Artistic License version 2.0.
