Dear nagios users, looking trough the Web I only found a check_areca plugin which uses the commandline tool for checking the controler state.
However, as my areca controller is providing an ethernet interface (ARC-1880) it should be better to do direct queries by LAN. The controller does provide snmp which also seems to work (I can query the controller using "snmpwalk -c public -v 1 <areca-ip> iso.3.6.1" after I added "public" as Community in the Web Interface. Unfortunately I was unable to figure out the correct key for RAID status monitoring, as the areca provided mib's seem to be somewhat broken. I am almost certainly looking for iso.3.6.1.4.1.18928.1.2.5.1.1.5.0 but this is just an intelligent guess: ~/ # snmpget -c public -v 1 <areca-ip> iso.3.6.1.4.1.18928.1.2.5.1.1.5.0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.18928.1.2.5.1.1.5.0 = STRING: "Normal" Regards Sven -- Unix is simple and coherent, but it takes a genius – or at any rate a programmer – to understand and appreciate the simplicity (Dennis M.
