VMS monitoring

[Carlos Guevara]

I was monitoring disk space on some VMS machines using SNMP.  These are
the commands I used (warning: it ain't pretty, but it worked great):

command[check_vms_disk]=$USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o
host.hrStorage.hrStorageTable.hrStorageEntry.hrStorageUsed.$ARG1$ -w
$ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -l "Disk Space Used"

service[xxxxxxxx]=$1$DGA3;0;24x7;3;5;1;vms-admins;60;24x7;1;1;1;;check_vms_disk!7!56891697:42668773!71114623:56891698
service[xxxxxxxx]=$DKB300;0;24x7;3;5;1;vms-admins;60;24x7;1;1;1;;check_vms_disk!16!71131000:71100000!71132000:71130000
service[xxxxxxxx]=$DKB500;0;24x7;3;5;1;vms-admins;60;24x7;1;1;1;;check_vms_disk!17!71131000:71100000!71132000:71130000

I'm not very familiar with VMS, but the VMS admin loaded the SNMP agent
on the machines and I used snmpwalk to find what I needed.
