ZFS on Linux: Nagios check_zfs plugin
by Alpha01
To monitor my ZFS pool, of course I’m using Nagios, duh. Nagios Exchange provide a check_zfs plugin written in Perl. http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Operating-Systems/Solaris/check_zfs/details
Although the plugin was originally designed for Solaris and FreeBSD systems, I got it to work under my Linux system with very little modification. The code can be found on my SysAdmin-Scripts git repo on my GitHub account.
[root@backup ~]# su - nagios -c "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_zfs backups 3"
OK ZPOOL backups : ONLINE {Size:464G Used:11.1G Avail:453G Cap:2%} <sdb:ONLINE>
perl nagios zfs
