check_zpools.sh
Monitoring plugin to monitor status and usage of zfs pools. Runs on multiple OS (tested on Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, smartOS).
***Description***
Up to date description and full documentation: https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/monitoring-plugins/check_zpools.php

This plugin is a fork of previously existing plugins from Aldo Fabi and Vitaliy Gladkevitch.

Based on a comparison of existing Nagios plugins to check zfs pools (see http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/345/monitor-zfs-disk-pools-nagios-plugin-comparison), the original plugin was completely rewritten for the purpose on using it independantly of the OS -> tested on Solaris, SmartOS and FreeBSD. It also offers performance data for graphing the usage.

The plugin supports a warning and a critical threshold for the usage (like disk usage) on the ZFS Pool.
If one of the disks in the ZFS Pool is set to DEGRADED, the plugin will return a CRITICAL status.

Performance data are integrated for usage.

Good script, it's just I believe that free space should be monitored using something like "zfs list" because "zpool list" always shows more that actually available.
Right now zpool list says following on my system:
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE
pool0 5.33T 4.27T 1.06T
But "zfs list" shows less:
NAME USED AVAIL
pool0 4.76T 494G

The script itself works, there was only an exception on FreeBSD where no which cmd is available in bash. I completely rewrote the script to add warning/critical with free space in G. Nagios Exit Parameters were not defined, added also some additional checks for arguments. When warn/crit was not specified it will just look if the pool is ONLINE.

Hello, the "which" command does exist in FreeBSD, too. However you're right about the fixed thresholds, I should remove them.
