Check_as400

After installing the plugin successfully, we are able to connect to AS400 system

CPU load
System -->48.98%
in Nagios output -->8.9 %

Can anyone help to identify why Nagios output is truncating the values and displays only 2nd decimal only.

hello

i have a problem with several as400.

If I execute the check in CLI I have correct results but I have to press CTRL+C to close it.

i see this answer but i can't get it to work.


* Nagios user may need to use IBM default sign-on display file
Or change nagiso user to other subsystem description to use system default display file(QSYS/QDSIGNON)


or
modify check_as400_lang.java
change this line

public String LOGIN_SCREEN="System . . . . .";

"System . . . . ." to fit your sigon menu

and recompile it.


for this option "change this line------public String LOGIN_SCREEN="System . . . . ."; "System . . . . ." to fit your sigon menu.
i don't understand the expected value

Hello,
i am not so the Administrator in AS400.
The following Points:
* Set NAGIOS user profile Display sign-on information *NO
- CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(NAGIOS) DSPSGNINF(*NO)
Initial program to call . . . . *NONE
Initial menu . . . . . . . . . . MAIN
Must i change this on the AS400?
Kind Regards

Narcan, the plugin not cover all version of I/OS... I´ve to 2480 (PT/BRasil). Sometimes the WRKSYSSTS change a little bit, if a PTF is applied or not. In your case, there is a field ou there isn´t a field before Disk Usage (like db capability). And the plugin is getting something about ELAPSED TIME ... there is a count in .java that represent the number of ":" found... you have to increase one or two to get the information you need.

Hi Denise,

I had same trouble when i check job, i look at the source of the plugin "check_as400.java" and i debug the source. I use french language for the plugin not try in English, but if you modify
the line 946 (function ParseChkJobsts)
String status=(buffer.substring(start+53,start+60)).trim(); by
String status=(buffer.substring(start+53,start+59)).trim();
Plugins Work
You have to recompile after modification
javac check_as400.java
I think same trouble apply to CJS.
Regards

Very good plugin, was able to make it work with an old os400, now we have updated our hardware/firmware and actually nagios give us "(Service check timed out after 90.01 seconds)"

I remember that on some older version I had to edit the token in check_as400.class

If I execute the check in CLI I have correct results but I have to press CTRL+C to close it.

This is what I have in debug mod :
[...]
CRITICAL - 888 active jobs in system | jobs=888;80.0;90.0;0;
Logging out...
sending F3...
waiting for token ===>...
token received.
requesting signoff...
waiting for token System . . . . ....

Have you a solution ?

Hi,
I really need this plugin to check if a job is always active and his state TIMW, but i have the same probleme since 8 month and i cant resolve it:

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_as400 -H X.X.X.X -v CJS EASYCOM FAX2
job(EASYCOM/FAX2) status(TIMW
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_as400 -H X.X.X.X -v CJ FAX2
CRITICAL - job(FAX2) status([7;6H 1.)
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_as400 -H X.X.X.X -v CJS EASYCOM FAX2 status TIMW
CRITICAL - job(EASYCOM/FAX2) status(TIMW
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_as400 -H X.X.X.X -v CJS EASYCOM FAX2 status (TIMW
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_as400 -H X.X.X.X -v CJS EASYCOM FAX2 status "(TIMW"
CRITICAL - job(EASYCOM/FAX2) status(TIMA

As you can see, CJ return a strange code and CJS return the state with one parenthesis...

Note: As400 is in french language so I have recompile the plugin with the correct language

Any help would be very appreciate! Thanks

This is a very good plugin, it's work very well.
I have a question, can I put a screen number, because on one of our AS400 we stop QINTER and for connecting, we have to force screen number for security reason.

You have done an excellent job that lets Nagios (and its flavors) to get deep into iSeries monitoring. It could be easy extended.
One issue that I found is in parseDspMsg when there are a few pages of "need-reply" messages and a new "do not need reply" messages page appears. In this case, where (e.g. k = 334 i=460) we get: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -126 at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source).

This happens in line "String str3 = paramString.substring(i, k);" where the begin is 460 and end is 334 (!!!) that is not possible.

Thank you for your excellent work!

I use it checking about 30 functions of the iSeries. It just works like expected.

Does what it said.
All checks i had setup work perfectly for over 6 months now on a V5R2M0 English system.
I would love to see a more detail online help, but anyway the dev had always and quickly reply my emails.
Good job !

This worked great for our Version 5 OS, but there we a couple of issues for 7.1.

Below are the changes to make the wrksyssts portions to work with 7.1
// else if(ARGS.checkVariable==DB){
// start=findToken(buffer,":",5)+1;
// double db=(new Double(checkDouble((buffer.substring(start,start+11)).trim()))).doubleValue();
//
// returnStatus=getStatus(db);
//
// System.out.println("DB Load ("+nf.format(db)+"%) | DBload="+nf.format(db)+";80;90;0; ");
// }
else if(ARGS.checkVariable==US){
double percentFree,total,percentUsed;

start=findToken(buffer,":",10)+1;
percentUsed=(new Double(checkDouble(buffer.substring(start,start+11)))).doubleValue();
start=findToken(buffer,":",10)+1;
percentFree=100.0-(new Double(checkDouble(buffer.substring(start,start+11)))).doubleValue();
// start=findToken(buffer,":",12)+1;
start=findToken(buffer,":",8)+1;
String tot=((buffer.substring(start,start+11))).trim();
total=(new Double(checkDouble(tot.substring(0,tot.length()-1)))).doubleValue();

returnStatus=getStatus(percentFree);

System.out.println(nf.format(total*(percentFree/100))+" "+tot.substring(tot.length()-1)+" ("+nf.format(percentFree)+"%) free of "+((buffer.substring(start,start+11))).trim()+" | ASP="+nf.format(percentUsed)+"%;87;92;0; ");
}
else if(ARGS.checkVariable==JOBS){
start=findToken(buffer,":",9)+1;
int jobs=(new Integer((buffer.substring(start,start+11)).trim())).intValue();

returnStatus=getStatus(jobs);

System.out.println(jobs+" jobs in system | jobs="+jobs+";;;0; ");

Hi,

i have the same problems as hlustik.
So i wanted to recompile the plugin but got the following problems:
