HP P2000 G3 monitoring (Zabbix 2.0)

[elvar]

Has anyone added anything to this script / template to detect disk and volume failures by chance?

Check zabbix_agentd.conf ServerActive parameter. Must be IP zabbix_server.
ServerActive=127.0.0.1

It turns out the only problem was not having the ServerActive line set correctly since my agent was using passive checks. Once I configured that line correctly it resolved things and now this template is working great. Thanks for the suggestion, it did the trick!

Kind regards,

I decided to revisit this script today and the problem I get is that it returns the number "0" every time I run the script. Any suggestions?

./hp-msa.pl hostname.example.com stats
0

Kind regards,

[dima_dm]

HI,
I have install zabbix 2.0.5 on Unbuntu and monitor San P2000 G3, but I do not know to copy this file hp-msa.pl to directory. please help thanks

in zabbix_server.conf see

ExternalScripts=${datadir}/zabbix/externalscripts

In my system ${datadir}=/usr/local/share/
Path /usr/local/share/zabbix/externalscripts.
You can define any other path in ExternalScripts.

I have no idias why Processed 0 Failed 60. Can anybody help please?

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

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!

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?

[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.

[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.

[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]

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
