Between 846 & 847 :

if [ -z "${volarray}" ]
    then
    echo "UNKNOWN - This volume (${volume}) does not exist."; exit 3
fi

should be better, to avoid this kind of cryptic error message :

awk: line 1: syntax error at or near end of line
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_dell_equallogic.sh: line 848: / 1024: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/ 1024")
UNKNOWN: should never reach this part```

Please add a information from eqlmember.mib :

eqlMemberHealthWarningConditions OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX BITS {
b2bFailure (10), -- board to board communication between the active and secondary CMs has failed.. Call support?
} MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "This field defines possible warning health conditions and which ones are present."
::= { eqlMemberHealthEntry 2}

Why?
In short. EQL do two big Failtures and I must stop production with x vmachines :(.
You remember the Rx/Tx Errors at Ethernet interfaces? The same RxTxErrors on Stack Backplane of controllers has name "Back2Back" on EqlTeam before Dell buy EQL. To this times this B2B=Rx/TxErrors between controllers aren't published on SAN HQ, SNMP, Syslog :(. The only what we can find is this B2BFailure Flag with 0 and 1 state :(.

I write before about Back2Back means Rx/TxError for stack of two controllers. I know that OID must be read, change into bit[10] and proper display.

In one Nagios script of other check I grab some code about dec2ba (to bibary bit-array) function.
I am not programmer but script person. If you can add this feature, it will be perfect.

General Information - Should provide a ServiceTag!.

Hallo, I use your script to monitor some DELL/EQL
My newest Device is a: PS4210 model: "70-0485"./ Running Firmware: V7.1.5.

One of my Thin-Prov-Volumes was stopped today because of "Low Space", but all of the counters, monitored by your script, where OK.

By my opinion, the issue lies in the calculation of used (Member) space.
If you have (large) Thin-Provisioned-Volumes they allocate space without any DATA written to them.
Reserved Space is always 10% (or more, it depends on your choice). It is allocated, but was not shown in "in use space" by Volume.

So the used space of a volume should always calculated so:
VolSpace="Volume reserve" + preallocated "Free" Space

But I think it is much better to monitor:
"Free Space" or, even better, the ""Free Space" +"Total Reclaimable Space" and set a trigger on this indicator.

Because that are the real Show-Stoppers.
:-)

chia

Difference between "IN-USE" and "Volume reserve"

Counter: free (real free Space in Pool)
Counter: Total Reclaimable Space = Waste bin size aka reclaimable

Hi, i have a error Message by test the script on a check_mk with the prod-User:

check_equallogic: line 153: syntax error near unexpected token <' check_equallogic: line 153: done < <(echo "${membernames[*]}" | sed "s/.1.3.6/\n.1.3.6/g" | sed "1d")'

System is a centos 6.5.

Thanks a lot

When the plugin cannot make an SNMP connection to Equallogic, this should give a warning (snmp connection not established, timeout, or sth like this).

In the current situation some checks might return an UNKNOWN status, others appear OK without any values.

You should add a parameter to "Without perfdata on output".

hi!

snmp connection works perfectly, thanks.

But i have an issue with line 850

See below my test, no %age (first issue) and test is OK (second issue)

./check_equallogic.sh -C public -H x.x.x.x -t vol -v test-bdd1-bdd-oracle

expr: syntax error
OK - Volumetest-bdd1-bdd-oracle used 90GB of 105GB (%)|'volavail'=112742891520, 'volused'=97108623360

when i suppress [${i}], it works fine but i don't know should it do.

850 : volpercentage=$(expr ${volusedspace[${i}]} * 100 / ${volavailspace[${i}]})
850 : volpercentage=$(expr ${volusedspace} * 100 / ${volavailspace})

./check_equallogic.sh -C public -H x.x.x.x -t vol -v test-bdd1-bdd-oracle

OK - Volume test-bdd1-bdd-oracle used 90GB of 105GB (86%)|'volavail'=112742891520, 'volused'=97108623360
