HP P2000 G3 monitoring (Zabbix 2.0)

[Emir Imamagic]

Yes, this is set in server config as well... no joy.

How long do scripts take to execute:

time ./hp-msa.pl <HOSTNAME>
time ./hp-msa.pl <HOSTNAME> stats

How long do scripts take to execute:

time ./hp-msa.pl <HOSTNAME>
time ./hp-msa.pl <HOSTNAME> stats

Under 30 seconds to be sure

time ./hp-msa.pl jckp2k-1a.rac.acl 

real	0m5.440s
user	0m0.634s
sys	0m0.038s

time ./hp-msa.pl jckp2k-1a.rac.acl stats
0

real	0m7.793s
user	0m0.496s
sys	0m0.037s

Maybe I should be using a newer version of Zabbix 2?

I think I got this working... being the idiot that I am... I failed to notice that my Zabbix server and agentd configuration files were located in /usr/local/etc rather than /etc/zabbix

Once I copied my configuration files over proper things now appear to be working.

Hello,

I see it is good solution to monitor HP MSA, but I have problem with perl script.
I have Zabbix 2.0.0 server, and want to monitor MSA 2324sa

./hp-msa.pl FQDN stats 
Not a HASH reference at ./hp-msa.pl line 60

or

./hp-msa.pl FQDN
Not a HASH reference at ./hp-msa.pl line 33

I dont understant what is wrong and cant find reference.
Thanks

Having the same error here on a self compiled 2.0 install running debian squeeze and on msa g2 2312i

I have the same Debian Squeeze
Maybe it is related with Debian and Perl v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
In some Forums it was noticed that after Perl upgraded from <5.10 to 5.10 appeared such error:

Not a HASH reference at

as alternative need test with another Perl version, but dont know how. Need Googling.

I've got this error in zabbix-server.log:

item [msa2000:hp-msa.pl["{HOST.DNS1}","stats"]] became not supported: Received value [] is not suitable for value type [Numeric (unsigned)] and data type [Decimal]

But the /var/tmp/zabbixSenderHPP2000_* file is not empty and contains some usefull infomation. Is it possible that the problem with a perl parser? The script produced an error and asked about missing /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini. I have copied sample ParserDetails.ini from /etc/perl/XML/SAX/. Now it looks like this:

[XML::SAX::PurePerl]
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1


[XML::SAX::Expat]
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1
http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities = 1
http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities = 1

Is it alright?
Does anyone have any other suggestions about how to solve the problem?

[i.kulagin]

Hm, I think it's not the script problem.
I tried to send a file with the collected information (/var/tmp/zabbixSender*) to zabbix-server with zabbix_sender like this:

zabbix_sender -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -i /var/tmp/zabbixSenderHPP2000_HostName_291

And I've got a response:

sent: 60; skipped: 0; total: 60

zabbix-server.log says:

[thesubmitter]

given that there is no show controller statistics command on the G2 I am gonna say it doesn't work on the G2

[i.kulagin]

So, I have solved some problems by reimporting the template. Now I can successfully send data from files, generated with the script, to zabbix-server with zabbix_sender. I can see item values, graphs etc in the latest data. But still no luck with external checks - data receiving is very unstable. When I run the script with hp-msa.pl HOSTNAME I get

{
   "data" : []
}

or

Authentication Unsuccessful at /etc/zabbix/externalscripts/hp-msa.pl line 126.

Last error may be related with the small period of time between script launches, so I do not consider it as a problem. But the first error is really bothers me. I suggest, I should see an output, like in the file /var/tmp/zabbixSender*. Am I right? Can anyone with working configuration tell me, what the correct output is.
Thanks.

[i.kulagin]

It seems that problem has been solved with the upgrade of P2000 firmware to the latest version. Emir Imamagic, thanks again for share the script.

[elvar]

The script appears to be succeeding in my zabbix_proxy.log but I'm not seeing anything populated in the latest data area. Any suggestions?

Running CentOS 6.3 x86_64 with perl-5.10.1-127.el6.x86_64 hp-msa.pl returns the following error:

syntax error at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at /usr/lib64/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 187

It would be great if someone could help me please. Thanks!

You must check name of host in zabbix and "HostName". This name is case sensitive.
