@DerDanilo You can do that right now with this plugin: https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-zfs
I followed the guide and got the following error:
root@host:/opt/amonagent# echo '["metrics-iostat-extended.rb"]' > /etc/opt/amonagent/plugins-enabled/sensu.conf
root@host:/opt/amonagent# echo '["check-zpool.rb"]' >> /etc/opt/amonagent/plugins-enabled/sensu.conf
root@host:/opt/amonagent# systemctl restart amonagent
root@host:/opt/amonagent# /opt/amonagent/amonagent -test-plugin=sensu
ERRO[0000] Can't decode JSON file error=invalid character '[' after top-level value plugin=sensu
map[]
I have had the same with nagios plugins. When defining multiple plugins how to define them? List or array? Can you make an example in your documentation.
Update: Did I just miss reading the part regarding the list of config files or was it added just now?
@DerDanilo Something I definitely need to make much clearer - Amon supports Sensu plugins in 2 place. First - we have metrics
plugins, which send metric data and these are processes in the sensu
plugin and then we have checks
, which cover both Nagios and Sensu health check type of plugins - these generate CRITICAL / WARNING / OK statuses
What I see from the error above is maybe some sort of typo in the JSON config, but not 100%, can you /etc/opt/amonagent/plugins-enabled/sensu.conf
?
Thanks for that info. Now they appear in the health check overview.
As you said already it would be good to make the difference between Metrics/Checks
clear.
Do you have a useful overview for metrics vs check plugins? I am new to ruby code.
@DerDanilo At least in sensu you can differentiate them by the name: this is how checks look like bin/check-mongodb.rb
and the metrics are bin/metrics-mongodb.rb
. Nagios is 100% check plugins
Maybe it's also useful to mention the default path for sensu metrics and check files. Have had to search them first. Thanks though.
@dschwabeS11 The default path is not consistent across distros - it is different with the embedded Sensu Ruby install, on CentOS and Ubuntu/Debian
It would be great if the amon agent can monitor ZFS and BTRFS pools and if it could also monitor the state of such pools.
