A perl plugin using Sys::Statistics::Linux
Thanks to Jonny Schulz, the author of Sys::Statistics::Linux, for his great work (http://search.cpan.org/~bloonix/) !
v1.2 Changelog :
- Add Paging statistics
- Add swapused and active memory on perfparse statistics
- Remove unused -H option (mthuijs)
v1.3 Changelog :
- Add uptime check, warning threshold in minutes (csterley)
- Replace /usr/local/nagios/libexec with FindBin (eulen)
- Fix reports network traffic in bytes (dbsanders)
v1.4 Changelog :
- Illegal division by zero (helium_rday, RedFish)
- Get the cache out of the used memory (waterdeep, dbsanders)
- Removed unused $return_str on check io disk (RedFish)
- Add steal cpu statistics
v1.5 Changelog :
- Add paging statistics to check for major faults (kevin@candidsource.com)
- bug, when using unit=MB for disk usage, the perf data writtens only KB (john12)
- Bug, multiple pipe on IO perfcournter (ledistordu)
- Add CPU context switch statistics

Hi Experts,
I have issue with this scripts for memory use in percent. I did not checked about other matter but memory usages showing in very less, but other commands for memroy showing accurate value. as below output.

Hello,
It's not an issue, but the plugin gets the cache out of the used memory and shows the *real* physical memory usage.
47% MemUsed + 52% MemCached = 99%

nice plugins. I found one problem:

Hi,
Came across your useful plugin for monitoring Linux Stats. I have downloaded the check_linux perl package and installed it on my remote server. But I’ve issues to run the following plugin. To be honest I’m a newbie into this nagios monitoring server and how to configure it. Appreciate if you could lead me to the correct direction
As far as my concerned my steps is as below
At host/remote server
1. root@server# cd /root/nagios
2. root@server nagios# wget http://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=2516&cf_id=24
3. root@server nagios# tar –zxvf Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66.tar.gz
4. root@server nagios# cd Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66
5. root@server Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66# perl Makefile.PL
6. root@server Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66# make
7. root@server Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66# make install
8. root@server# vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
and I add the harcoded command argument in the nrpe.cfg
# Check network usage on eth0
command[check_net]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_linux_stats.pl -N -w 1000000 -c 1500000 -p eth0 -s 5
9. restart xinetd service && restart nrpe service
At monitoring server
1. Install theLinux Stats plugin same as above
2. go to cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/service.cfg and add the following:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name fastrocom.com
service_description Network Usage
check_command check_nrpe!check_net
}
3. go to cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/command.cfg and add the following:
# 'check_net_usage' command definition
define command{
command_name check_net
command_line $USER1$/check_net -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}
I believe I miss a few steps and due to this I’m unable to generate the report at Nagios monitoring System. If I go to /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ there is no linux stats plugin available at that directory
Your guidance and advice is highly appreciated

I know some people have asked in earlier comments how to generate perf data to go into nagiosgraph, but I can't get it to work.
Nagiosgraph is saying "no data available". Can you tell me how to get this working?

Hello,
Great job this check worked great out of the box, I applied ruddockr suggestion to have CPU usage and not Idle time.
I noticed two small issues :
If you do not have any swap you get the divide by zero error noticed by helium_rday, as a quick fix I added a +1 in the division at line 290 and 291.
I always get a empty disk io, the perfdata are there but the output is always :
DISK OK io : |sda1_read=0.00;100;150 sda1_write=0.00;70;100 with nothing after the "io : ". I'm not a Perl expert but I noticed that the $return_str is initiliazed but no data is added to it.
Great job this check worked great out of the box, I applied ruddockr suggestion to have CPU usage and not Idle time.
I noticed two small issues :

Hello,
thanks for your comment,

Hi! Thanks for this excellent plugin.
Are there any pnp4nagios templates for this plugin?

Hi.
Great plugin.
You display a graph with three data sets for memory. While I can create the data using the plugin I do not know how to create the graph.
Could you elaborate how you created the graph, please?
thank you

Excellent plugin. VERY useful.
The only problem I'm having is with the check_network_usage check. All the other checks work, but check_network_usage returns "NRPE: Unable to read output". When i run the check on the remote host manually, it gives the correct output, but falls over at some point during the NRPE check when run from the nagios host.
Any ideas?

Hi
Please check the calculation of the free memory (physical).
Currently this is the value of memused:
$memused = ($mem->{memused} / $mem->{memtotal}*100);
But you will have to calculate also with the cached memory.
> $memused = sprintf("%.2f", $memused - $memcached);
This is at least the real free memory.
Especially on RedHat based systems almost the whole physical memory will be allocated and only be provided for usage out of the cached memory. Means: once loaded component's required memory stays reserved for the OS for faster re-allocation but it can be freed if the remaining physical memory goes down very fast.
Regards
Jochen

This is a very nicely designed and useful plugin. The only improvement I can suggest is being able to pass a program name rather than the PID file name.
And for those who couldn't find graphs, graphs are available through nagiosgraph (http://nagiosgraph.sourceforge.net/) which is a small 5-minute setup.

Hi,
You can already check a process using the -T parameter. Example :
./check_linux_stats.pl -T -w 200000000 -c 300000000 -p /var/run/vmtoolsd.pid
Returns virtual mem & cpu information :
PROCESSES OK |vmtoolsd_vsize=39239680;200000000;300000000 vmtoolsd_nswap=0 vmtoolsd_cnswap=0 vmtoolsd_cpu=1

Hi How can I graph the cpu utilization
Im able to get all the checks finally condensed into one nice neat script. One thing of the future todo list.
Have an issue thought, the uptime check is returning a status of unknown. Doesn't seem to be effected by the -w -c on the command.

I fixed it,
The plugin can report a notify if the boot time is lower than a given warning threshold in minutes.
./check_linux_stats.pl -U -w 12
WARNING : up 0 days, 00:11:23 |uptime=683

Great plugin - and yielding great info for nagiosgraph too!
Just one tweak that makes the graph more sensible to read.
default output is %idle which can be 100% all the time if a quiet server.
I changed this to return to CPU busy time (based on cpu_used variable)
code change snippett at line 120-126 (under check_cpu sub):
120 my $perfdata .= "|"
121 ."user=$cpu->{user}% "
122 ."system=$cpu->{system}% "
123 ."iowait=$cpu->{iowait}% "
124 ."InUse=$cpu_used%;$o_warning;$o_critical";
125
126 print "CPU $status : InUse $cpu_used% $perfdata";

Hi
We had an error first when trying to use the plugin. After changing the following lines it worked perfectly:
#use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec";
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin";
(replaced the lib definition)
Friendly regards, Till

I love the idea of all the stats coming from one script. Had to modify a bit, to get the cache out of the "used" memory.
Also, Sys::Statistics::Linux reports network traffic in "bytes". However you are appending "KB" to the output, but I don't see the conversion in your script. Shouldn't this be appending "B" instead?

Great plugin!
When running the memory example however i get the following error:
15:34:18 /usr/local/icinga/libexec $ perl check_linux_stats.pl -M -w 90 -c 95
Illegal division by zero at check_linux_stats.pl line 250.
All the other checks, such as CPU, load, process vmem, network, io, etc work perfectly.
Thoughts?
