Description Sönke Schwardt-Krummrich univentionstaff 2018-07-09 12:40:41 CEST 
The handling of device mapper RAID is broken in check_raid as of UCS 4.3.
The check always returns "UNKNOWN" state if no dm raid is configured (even if a mdraid is configured):
UNKNOWN: dm:[No devices to check]; mdstat:[md3(2.73 TiB raid5):UUUU, md2(1023.44 MiB raid1):UUUU]

So the check is currently nearly useless.

Temporary workaround (one line!):
sed -i -re 's,/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_raid$,/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_raid -p mdstat,' /etc/nagios/nrpe.univention.d/UNIVENTION_RAID.cfg

Then restart the NRPE daemon: "service nagios-nrpe-server restart"

We should consider to ship univention-nagios-raid with "-p mdstat" als default arguments for check_raid.

The customer would like the fix within the next 2 weeks. Is that realistic?

univention-nagios-raid: e369348b2bcb33b7fe00b3880a8c51115fff30b7
yaml: 4bf5f2ec9d5aa5c179636954095be27ccba7ce28

We now always use "check_raid -p mdstat" (and no longer the dm plugin, if that is a problem, we have to make it configurable in the future).

For updates, we simply fix the /etc/nagios/nrpe.univention.d/UNIVENTION_RAID.cfg (which is generated by a listener handler) and restart the nrpe server.

New installations should use the modified command in "etc/nagios-plugins/config/univention-raid.cfg" directly.

See nagios/univention-nagios-raid/test.txt for information about how to setup a raid.

OK: adapted check works for working, broken, rebuilding raid
OK: Config is fixed during update
OK: yaml
Verified
