Hey guys,
I'd like to implement an addition for my NAS box, a Buffalo Terastation.
This NAS sends a daily report about the available space and the state of the disks. Observium already grabs details about the space, so I'd like to also add support to disk status/diagnostics (I already have the needed MIB files).
The following is a MIB snippet:
------------------------------------------------------
nasDiskStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
notSupport(-1),
normal(1),
array1(2),
array2(3),
standby(4),
degrade(5),
remove(6),
standbyRemoved(7),
degradeRemoved(8),
removeRemoved(9)
}
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "The state of local disks. This value is read from
'diskx' line in file /etc/melco/diskinfo.
notSupport(-1) indicates the disk slot is not exist.
normal(1) indicates the disk is not part of RAID array.
array1(2) indicates the disk is part of array1.
array2(3) indicates the disk is part of array2.
standby(4) indicates the disk is standby and power-off.
degrade(5) indicates the disk has degraded and removed
from array, and power-off.
remove(6) indicates the disk has removed from array
by user and power-off.
standbyRemoved(7) indicates the disk is standby and
removed from NAS.
degradeRemoved(8) indicates the disk has degraded and
removed from array and NAS.
removeRemoved(9) indicates the disk has removed from
array and NAS."
::= { nasDiskEntry 2 }
------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure which is the best location in the device page for showing these informations.
Could we consider these as a kind of sensor or is it something inventory-related? Actually I need a design advice.
Would be really nice if you could also give me a pointer to a similar existing code. I strongly believe in learning by example :-)
Thanks,
Stefano
