check_afs_quotas

(Monitor AFS quota usage under Nagios)

SYNOPSIS

check_afs_quotas [-hV] [-c threshold] [-w threshold] [-t timeout] (-H host [-p partition] | -n volume) [-r regex]

DESCRIPTION

check_afs_quotas is a Nagios plugin for checking free space in AFS volumes based on the allocated quota for the volume. It uses either vos examine or vos listvol to obtain the quota and current usage for either a single volume or all volumes on a server or server partition and will return an alert if the percentage of quota used is over a threshold. By default, it returns a critical error if the used quota is over 90% and a warning if it is over 85% (changeable with the -c and -w options).

To check a single volume, specify the volume name with -n. To check a whole server, specify the server name with -H. You can check only a single partition on a server by using the -p option to name the partition in combination with -H. When checking an entire server, the volumes checked can be filtered by using a regular expression (-r).

If vos examine or vos listvol doesn't return within the timeout, check_afs_quotas will return a critical error. The default timeout is 300 seconds, changeable with the -t option.

check_afs_quotas will always print out a single line of output, giving the critical errors if any, otherwise giving the warnings if any, otherwise either summarizing the volume usage (if -n was given) or the total number of volumes checked.

OPTIONS

-c threshold, --critical=threshold

Change the critical percentage threshold to threshold, which should be an integer percentage. The default is 90.

-H host, --hostname=host

The AFS file server whose volumes to check for quota usage. Either this option or the -n option is required.

-h, --help

Print out this documentation (which is done simply by feeding the script to perldoc -t).

-n volume, --volume=volume

Check quota usage for a specific volume. Either this option or the -H option is required.

-p partition, --partition=partition

Used in combination with the -H option, limits quota checking to a particular partition. The partition can be given in any of the forms recognized by the AFS tools (so both the partition letter a and the full partition name /vicepa will work).

-r regex

When processing an entire server (-H), ignore any volumes that don't match the specified Perl regular expression.

-t timeout, --timeout=timeout

Change the timeout for the vos partinfo command. The default timeout is 300 seconds.

-V, --version

Print out the version of check_afs_quotas and quit.

-w threshold, --warning=threshold

Change the warning percentage threshold to threshold, which should be an integer percentage. The default is 85.

EXIT STATUS

check_afs_quotas follows the standard Nagios exit status requirements. This means that it will exit with status 0 if there are no problems, with status 2 if there is at least one critical partition for that server, and with status 1 if there are no critical partitions but at least one warning partition. For other errors, such as invalid syntax, check_afs_quotas will exit with status 3.

BUGS

The standard -v verbose Nagios plugin option is not supported and should be. (For example, under -vv we would want to show the actual total, free, and used byte counts, not just the percentages.)

The usage message for invalid options and for the -h option doesn't conform to Nagios standards.

CAVEATS

This script does not use the Nagios util library or any of the defaults that it provides, which makes it somewhat deficient as a Nagios plugin. This is intentional, though, since this script can be used with other monitoring systems as well. It's not clear what a good solution to this would be.
