raidctl output monitoring

[jasper9890]

Is anyone monitoring hardware raid status on a Sun T2000 or any other machine that uses the raidctl command?

Output is something like this below - how would you best grep or awk out the information?

# raidctl
RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk
Volume Type Status Disk Status
------------------------------------------------------
c1t0d0 IM OK c1t0d0 OK
c1t1d0 OK

One lazy way is to monitor any change.

In zabbix_agentd.conf

UserParameter=raid_status,/path/to/raidctl

Then on the Server create a new item, with Type=Character and a trigger:

{host:raid_status.diff(0)}#0

If anything changes in the output of raidctl, trigger goes true and you get a notification.
Then only problem is that the trigger will only be true over a brief period.

Of you could write a sh/php/perl/whatever script to wrap around raidctl. But this requires a bit more work.
