Checks the channel-type and various aspects of iSCSI, SAS and fibre-optical interfaces.
This plugin can be used to monitor the host interfaces, especially the channel type (driveside vs. hostside).
A typical usage would be:
check_eseries_interface channel-type [...] --ok-type=^driveside$ --include=^220100|^220101
...
check_eseries_interface channel-type [...] --ok-type=^hostside$ --include=^220102|^220103
The patterns given to the --exclude|-X and --include|-I parameters allow to check specific interfaces only.
With --ok-type=<regex> the channel-type can be defined which should be considered ok (e.g. ^driveside$).
Besides the channel type, some sort specific aspects like the speed or the status can be checked for all types of interfaces. Please refer to the --help of the check and its subcommands.
These other aspects have nested sub commands. E.g. $ ./check_eseries_interface iscsi link-status -H sg01 [...]. To get the relevant help for each subcommand type --help after it. E.g. $ ./check_eseries_interface iscsi link-status ---help
The interfaces and their status are printed to stdout line by line in the following format:
<controlerRef>.<interfaceRef>: <status>
./check_eseries_interface sas state -H 10.10.4.2 --system-id=1
