It is possible to check the status of gmirror with Nagios and NRPE using the following port:
<pre>
$ cat /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios-geom/pkg-descr
This is a small Nagios plugin written in PERL and designed to monitor
the state of FreeBSD GEOM devices (specifically mirrors and striped
volumes) from Nagios.


I found a simple script to monitor the status of gmirror on a server in nagios. I found it on [http://www.klintrup.dk/soren/ this page], the usual thanks to Søren Klintrup for making it available to the public. I do the following to make it work on an existing NRPE installation:

</pre>
== Configuring Nagios ==
First I define a new service on the Nagios server, in <code>/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/services.cfg</code>:
<pre>
define service{
        use                            generic-service
        hostgroup_name                  geom-servers
        service_description            nrpe_check_geom
        check_command                  check_nrpe2!check_geom
}
</pre>


I then add the hosts that I want to run this check on to the group geom-servers on the nagios server, which makes Nagios run the check <code>check_nrpe2!check_geom</code> on all members of the group.
== Install the plugin ==
Just install the port:
<pre>
sudo portmaster /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios-geom/
</pre>
== Configuring NRPE ==
Add the following line to <code>/usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg</code>:
<pre>
command[check_geom]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_geom mirror gm0
</pre>
Of course, if the gmirror is called something else, change the line accordingly.
Remember to restart NRPE after changing the config:
<pre>
<pre>
sudo fetch -o /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_gmirror http://www.klintrup.dk/soren/gmirror/check_gmirror.sh
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_gmirror
sudo echo "command[check_gmirror]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_gmirror" >> /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg
sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrpe2 restart
sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrpe2 restart
</pre>
</pre>
I then add the host to the group gmirror-servers on the nagios server, which just tells it to run the check check_nrpe2!check_gmirror on all members of the group.

It is possible to check the status of gmirror with Nagios and NRPE using the following port: 

$ cat /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios-geom/pkg-descr
This is a small Nagios plugin written in PERL and designed to monitor
the state of FreeBSD GEOM devices (specifically mirrors and striped
volumes) from Nagios.

Configuring Nagios

First I define a new service on the Nagios server, in /usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/services.cfg: 

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        hostgroup_name                  geom-servers
        service_description             nrpe_check_geom
        check_command                   check_nrpe2!check_geom
}

I then add the hosts that I want to run this check on to the group geom-servers on the nagios server, which makes Nagios run the check check_nrpe2!check_geom on all members of the group.

Install the plugin

Just install the port: 

sudo portmaster /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios-geom/

Configuring NRPE

Add the following line to /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg: 

command[check_geom]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_geom mirror gm0

Of course, if the gmirror is called something else, change the line accordingly.

Remember to restart NRPE after changing the config: 

sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrpe2 restart
