Hy *,

 

I just noticed that observium_agent returns a <<<md>>> section:

 

1.)    Question: is there actual a way of monitoring the state of linux softraid devices in Observium, I just do not know?
Documentation / google is quite silent about this question. :-)

2.)    If no, how can this be implemented?

Idea #1: Introduce a “(red|yellow) Alarm” state even for Unix devices, as most common network devices have.
So this technique can be also used for different kinds of alarms (Raid, Network, ECC, …)

a.       Yellow Alarm: Raid degraded

b.      Red Alarm: Raid broken :-)

 

Idea #2: Is this something, which can be implemented “outside Observium” (e.g. by some “geniuos” snmpd-configuration lines in snmpd.conf)
and Observium just uses the normal “(yellow|red) Alarm” way, which is already implemented?
Sorry, I am not an SNMP-Expert, so I cannot answer this for myself.

 

Thanks

Richard
