This plugin attempts to contact the MRTGEXT NLM running on a Novell
server
to gather the requested system information.
Usage:
check_nwstat -H host [-v variable] [-w warning] [-c critical]
[-p port] [-t timeout]
check_nwstat (-h | --help) for detailed help
check_nwstat (-V | --version) for version information
Options:
-H, --hostname=HOST
Name of the host to check
-v, --variable=STRING
Variable to check. Valid variables include:
LOAD1 = 1 minute average CPU load
LOAD5 = 5 minute average CPU load
LOAD15 = 15 minute average CPU load
CONNS = number of currently licensed connections
VPF<vol> = percent free space on volume <vol>
VKF<vol> = KB of free space on volume <vol>
LTCH = percent long term cache hits
CBUFF = current number of cache buffers
CDBUFF = current number of dirty cache buffers
LRUM = LRU sitting time in minutes
DSDB = check to see if DS Database is open
LOGINS = check to see if logins are enabled
UPRB = used packet receive buffers
PUPRB = percent (of max) used packet receive buffers
SAPENTRIES = number of entries in the SAP table
SAPENTRIES<n> = number of entries in the SAP table for SAP type <n>
OFILES = number of open files
VPP<vol> = percent purgeable space on volume <vol>
VKP<vol> = KB of purgeable space on volume <vol>
VPNP<vol> = percent not yet purgeable space on volume <vol>
VKNP<vol> = KB of not yet purgeable space on volume <vol>
ABENDS = number of abended threads (NW 5.x only)
CSPROCS = number of current service processes (NW 5.x only)
-w, --warning=INTEGER
Threshold which will result in a warning status
-c, --critical=INTEGER
Threshold which will result in a critical status
-p, --port=INTEGER
Optional port number (default: 9999)
-t, --timeout=INTEGER

Notes:
- This plugin requres that the MRTGEXT.NLM file from James Drews' MRTG
extension for NetWare be loaded on the Novell servers you wish to
check.
(available from http://www.engr.wisc.edu/~drews/mrtg/)
- Values for critical thresholds should be lower than warning thresholds
when the following variables are checked: VPF, VKF, LTCH, CBUFF, and
LRUM.
