SMB share monitoring

[ArnoAnderson]

Hello,

I have a Dell/EMC Unity storage that share it disks via smb protocol, and this disks are mapped on a Windows Server: \\storage\share1.

I tried to monitoring the disc using vfs.fs.size[\\servernas\share1,pfree] and vfs.fs.size[X:,pfree] but unsuccesfuly. So I tried to get the information on storage directly via SNMP and EMC Unity REST-API v3 template, but the template only shows the total pool size, not the disks separately.

Does anyone know how I can monitor the size of these disks?

zabbix agent is ok and get the correct information:
zabbix_agentd.exe -t vfs.fs.discovery
vfs.fs.discovery [s|{"data":[{"{#FSNAME}":"C:","{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FSDRIVE TYP E}":"fixed"},{"{#FSNAME}":"D:","{#FSTYPE}":"UNKN OW N","{#FSDRIVETYPE}":"cdrom"},{"{#FSNAME}":"X:", "{# FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FSDRIVETYPE}":"remote"},{"{#FSN AME}":"Y:","{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FSDRIVETYPE}":"re mote"},{"{#FSNAME}":"Z:","{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FSD RIVETYPE}":"remote"}]}]


But the results on Zabbix Server using vfs.fs.discovery is incomplete:
{"data":[{"{#FSNAME}":"C:","{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FSDRIVE TYP E}":"fixed"},{"{#FSNAME}":"D:","{#FSTYPE}":"UNKN OW N","{#FSDRIVETYPE}":"cdrom"}]}

You have at LLD a filter configured that removes all fs that have "{#FSDRIVETYPE}":"remote"

Hi Hamardaban, thanks for the response,

I still learning how to use Zabbix. Is the filter located in "Mounted Filesystem Discovery"?

{#FSDRIVETYPE} matches {$VFS.FS.FSDRIVETYPE.MATCHES}
{#FSDRIVETYPE} does not match {$VFS.FS.FSDRIVETYPE.NOT_MATCHES}
{#FSNAME} matches {$VFS.FS.FSNAME.MATCHES}
{#FSNAME} does not match {$VFS.FS.FSNAME.NOT_MATCHES}
{#FSTYPE} matches {$VFS.FS.FSTYPE.MATCHES}
{#FSTYPE} does not match {$VFS.FS.FSTYPE.NOT_MATCHES}

The problem was the old zabbix-agent version (3.0). After update apparently the server found the smb share units, because this error appear:

Cannot obtain filesystem information: [0x0000052E] The user name or password is incorrect.

Where I can put this information? I tried to insert in MACROS field, using {$USER} and {$PASSWORD} macros, but didn't work.

I also encountered the same problem, and I found that even if I removed the flitter in [vfs.fs.discovery], I still couldn't find the remote share. The output of two different commands is as follows;


c:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent>zabbix_agentd.exe -t vfs.fs.discovery
vfs.fs.discovery [s|[{"{#FSNAME}":"C:","{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FSLABEL }": "","{#FSDRIVETYPE}":"fixed"},{"{#FSNAME}":"D:" ,"{# FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FSLABEL}":"","{#FSDRIVETYPE}":" fixed"},{"{#FSNAME}":"G:","{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FS LABEL}":"","{#FSDRIVETYPE}":"fixed"},{"{#FSNAME}": "Y:","{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS","{#FSLABEL}":"usb3","{ #FSD RIVETYPE}":"remote"},{"{#FSNAME}":"Z:","{#FSTYPE}" :"NTFS","{#FSLABEL}":"usb4","{#FSDRIVETYPE}":"r emo te"}]]

c:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent>zabbix_get.exe -s 127.0.0.1 -k vfs.fs.discovery
