Sensaphone IMS-4000 (check_ims_sensor)

Project Notes

Check plugin to pull environment sensor data from a Sensaphone(tm) IMS-4000(tm) monitoring system. This plugin will query an input channel for type, label and value and provide screen output based on the channel's configuration on the IMS-4000. Currently supported sensor types are: Temperature (C or F) Sound, usually from internal mic (dB) Power input (0 or 1, 0 is normal) Humidity (% relative humidity) Water sensor (0 or 1) N.O. Dry contact (0 or 1) Requirements This plugin should run on most typical perl installations that provide: perl 5.8 or higher Net::SNMP Getopt::Long utils.pm from Nagios package Usage check_ims_sensor -H [-C ] [-n ] -I [options] Mandatory arguments -H, --host Host address ($HOSTADDRESS$ frrom Nagios) -I, --input Input channel number (starting from 1) Optional arguments -C, --community SNMP community string (defaults to 'public') -n, --node Node number (Starts from 1; defaults to 0 for IMS Host) -w, --warning Warning threshold -c, --critical Critical threshold -v, --verbose Verbose/debugging output -u, --unit Override value unit string -t, --type Override input type string --list-sensors List available sensors on the selected node Both the warning and critical thresholds support Nagios range syntax for high and low thresholds. The string overrides are only used in the screen output of the Nagios plugin. The performance data automatically uses the input channel's proper unit and type; this prevents RRD series from changing if you change a channel label in IMS. Using sensors Dry contacts This plugin currently only supports normally-open (N.O.) dry contacts (that's all I have). An N.O. input is automatially assumed to be in 'OK' state when open and 'CRITICAL' state when closed.
