Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows Mount Points



Dear fellow Nagios users,

I was just wondering if anyone is monitoring Windows mount points?  If
yes, are there any plugins available for it?

I tried searching the archive and Google but couldn't find anything
relevant. 

Any advise/pointers are appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,
 
What do you want to monitor exactly? 
Do you want to check if a share is available remotely or are you running
the check from the Windows machine?
We use Perl scripts running smbclient:
$cmd = '/usr/bin/smbclient //' . $host . '/' . $share . ' -U "' .
$username . '" "' . $password . '" -c "dir" 2>/dev/null';
In this case this output is the parsed to check for the age of a
particular file, but once you have the output you can do what you want
with it.
 
So far these are the error codes I am aware of and what they mean:
 
if ($lastLine =~ m/Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME/) {
 print "UNKNOWN: Can't connect to $host\n";
 exit 3;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME/) {
 print "UNKNOWN: Can't find share $share\n";
 exit 3;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED/) {
 print "UNKNOWN: Could not connect to $host, is SMB enabled and $share
shared?\n";
 exit 3;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE/) {
 print "WARNING: Username/Password incorrect\n";
 exit 1;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT/) {
 print "CRITICAL: Account Locked\n";
 exit 2;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED/) {
 print "UNKNOWN: Connection refused.\n";
 exit 3;
}
 
Hope this helps.
