Monitoring Windows Shared Folder - need tips!

[edgdelgado]

Hi!

Im trying to monitor if my shared folder going well like this:

- Clear messages, umount (will use if later), try to mount and check /var/log/messages for errors.
If null = (1)OK, else = (0)BAD

If I run the script manually the zabbix update the item status after some time, if I let the zabbix do all the work, the item never updates

#!/bin/bash
DOMAIN=****
LOGIN=*****
PWD=****
LOGFILE=/var/log/messages
umount /mnt/foz-fs01-pe/
echo -n > /var/log/messages
mount -t cifs //****/test /mnt/****/ -o username=$LOGIN,domain=$DOMAIN,password=$PWD

RESULT=`cat /var/log/messages`

if [ "$RESULT" == "" ]; then
   echo "1"

else
   echo "0"
fi

agentd.conf:
UserParameter=fs.check02,/opt/zabbix_scripts/smb2.sh

messages when I manually execute my script
* after doing this the item on zabbix updates

[root@FOZ-ZABBIX-PE zabbix_scripts]# ./smb2.sh
1
[root@FOZ-ZABBIX-PE zabbix_scripts]# ./smb2.sh
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
0
[root@FOZ-ZABBIX-PE zabbix_scripts]#

Zabbix runs under a "normal" user account thus is neither allowed to mount/umount nor write into /var/log/messages.

For the first, you shoud use "sudo" and place an entry in /etc/sudoers.
For the second, use "logger" or simply write into a zabbix-writeable file.

Third: "cat /var/log/messages" is nonsense. It spits out the whole file and succeeds if you have the rights to do so and fails if not. It gives no details about your mount attemps.

Better you should test if your mount attemp succeeds either by checking the error code of the "mount" command or if there are any subdirectories under your mount-point /mnt/****

Hello!

Thanks for all other tips I will work to make it better...
