(cc’ed the list)

FWIW now that you got bb-mdstat working:

Changes from 4.3.17 -> 4.3.18 (3 Feb 2015)

• Linux client:
  • Generate 'raid' status from mdstat data

Do you know which version upwards of the XYMon-Client includes /proc/mdstat? I am using apt-get in Ubuntu Currently, but I would compile manually if I found newer features embedded that I actually use.

Going to try your alternate solution regardless, because my work uses AARCONF to check on the raid status currently and we use XYMon, so seems logical.

/proc/mdstat monitoring is included in newer Xymon clients (producing a 'raid' status).

alternatively you might want to take a look at my raid-monitor extension which provides good/bad monitoring for afraid, LSI megaraid, 3ware/LSI, Adaptec aacraid: http://www.it-eckert.com/software/raid-monitor/ <http://www.it-eckert.com/software/raid-monitor/> Cheers Thomas

Hello XYMon Guru’s!

I am trying to configure bb-mdstat found on https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/monitors:bb-mdstat <https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/monitors:bb-mdstat> , but all the variables point to BB*** and it doesn’t work, I think all the “scripting” would work If I could just figure out how to set the variables correctly, any chance we could get this updated for XYMON Variables.?

Testing :

donut at FileServer:/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext$ ./bb-mdstat.sh

./bb-mdstat.sh: 62: [: unexpected operator

BBHOME is not set... exiting

Manually set :

BBHOME=/usr/lib/xymon/client

donut at FileServer:/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext$ ./bb-mdstat.sh

./bb-mdstat.sh: 62: [: unexpected operator

*** LOADING HOBBITCLIENT.CFG ***

./bb-mdstat.sh: 88: .: Can't open /usr/lib/xymon/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

Manually set :

if [ ! -d "$BBTMP" ] ; then # GET DEFINITIONS IF NEEDED

      echo "*** LOADING HOBBITCLIENT.CFG ***"

    . $BBHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg          # INCLUDE STANDARD DEFINITIONS

Fi

And this is where I draw a blank…
