Well, I was going to start going through all my AFS software and releasing new versions, but then various other things ate my brain and my life. This release has been mostly ready since the beginning of November. Oh well, better late than never.
This is the first more drastic overhaul of how I was distributing AFS software. Previously, all my AFS monitoring scripts were distributed as separate scripts from my web pages, which meant no history, no public version control repository, and various other problems. As of this release, the AFS monitoring scripts are now collected in a tarball and there's a public Git repository for the code.
Substantial changes in this release compared to the early individual scripts are:
Rename all the scripts to follow a standard naming pattern of check_afs_*. This makes it easier to distinguish between these scripts and other Nagios plugins.
A new check_afs_quotas script based on work by Steve Rader. This plugin can monitor AFS volumes to check how close consumption is getting to the volume quota. It can check either individual volumes or all volumes on a particular server or partition.
check_afs_space can now check an individual partition and produces more verbose information if only a single partition is checked. This is also based on work by Steve Rader.
Lots of fixes for correct Nagios output in various error cases, ignoring additional output lines from AFS commands that are harmless, improved reporting of some warning conditions, and improved verbose output from various commands.
Many thanks to Steve Rader for providing all the work he'd done to enhance our original AFS monitoring scripts.
You can get the latest version from the afs-monitor distribution page. There are also now Debian packages available (as nagios-plugins-afs) from my personal Debian repository.
