Monitoring Intel/LSI/Symbios RAID controllers

[denser]

Its run script that put to zabbix sender(you suggest do it via windows scheduler). Thts all. Wont like to use also windows additional tuning.

[mail_admin]

I am very new to zabbix and I want to monitor HS22 blade server with LSI RAID controller. The server is running windows 2012 standard 64 bit.
I have my zabbix agent 2.4.1 file at location c:\zabbix_agentd.conf.
Copied the files intel_raid_check and intel_raid_discovery file to zabbix directory C:\zabbix_agents_2.4.1.win. Placed CmdTool2_64.exe in c:\raid folder. I have uploaded the template in zabbix server running on centos. Do I need to add any value mapping. I have a file zabbix_agent_userparameters and I don't know how to proceed further. Can anyone please help me on how to proceed to next step. Thanks in advance.

Do I need to add any value mapping

If you imported template without errors - then no, you don't need any value mapping. Otherwise - you'll found it on github

check that CmdTool2_64.exe shows info about your controller in elevated command promt/powershell

CmdTool2_64.exe -adpcount
CmdTool2_64.exe -adpallinfo -aN

If it works and shows info about RAID controller - you are lucky.

• Put lines from agent_userparameters text file to your zabbix agent configuration (Today I prefer to include it in main config, but there is actually no difference).
• You need to check path to scripts in these userparameters. You also should check path to CmdTool in each script.
• Then, you need to create two windows scheduler tasks - one for discovery script, and one for trapper checks script, if you want to use it (if I remember correctly - almost all items in template are "trapper" items, but you can change type of these items to zabbix agent). You probably want to run discovery script with 0.5/1h interval, and trapper script every 5/10 minutes.

That's it, pretty easy (if you don't have 100 servers )

Hi.
I use zabbix server 2.4.5
When I import the template get the error:

    Created: Application "LSI RAID adapter" on "Template LSI RAID (agent + trapper)".

I ask your help

[ArtemK]

Hi,

you should add value mappings first

[artem.ultra]

thank. happened
and what CmdTool2 in script raid_check.ps1?

Hi.
I'm configuring windows based machine and i need your help because Im not getting anything with our script.
That is what i did.
1. I imported template to the zabbix server( without errors)
2. I added lines from file user_parameters to the zabbix_agent.conf file
3. i added intel_raid_checks files into zabbix folder on my windows machine
4. I link template to the host.

What is wrong?
I do not get any errors and any data

Host configured to use zabbix agent

[ArtemK]

please, use latest scripts from github

IIRC, you should use system scheduler to run discovery and trapper scripts to get data. For example you can schedule to run discovery script every hour and trapper_checks script every 5 minutes.

If you want to use agent checks only - change discovery and all items/prototypes type to "zabbix active"

That doesn't tell me anything, did you configured host in zabbix, attached template to it?

PS C:\Program Files\Zabbix> .\CmdTool2_64.exe -adpallinfo -aN
...

what's wrong?

-aN - N is controller number, try

CmdTool2_64.exe -adpallinfo -a0

[artem.ultra]

yes. i am attached template to server

[ArtemK]

hmm, did you try this command in elevated powershell session?

Could you also post here zsend_data.txt file, it should be in the same folder where your CmdTool2_64.exe is located. If it contains some data - then there is problem in zabbix configuration.

yes

[ArtemK]

That strange, discovery script sees one conrtoller...you probably didn't run cmdtool in "admin" shell.


Anyway, this is probably my fault, I renamed item keys between versions...latest version on github uses "hw.raid.discovery" keys. You have "intel.raid.discovery" keys. Which keys you have defined in template?

I recommend you to remove current template/scripts and import template/download scripts from github and then try again.
