Scritp to get values by CLI

Votes:

0

Hi

We are trying to monitor a EMC Vnxe 3200 using PRTG.

Since the vnxe doen't have any SNMP Pooling, we can not monitor it in real time. We found a scritp using by Nagios to monitor it using CLI commands.

https://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=search&Itemid=74&searchword=vnxe

Can be used similar script for PRTG?

thank you

Best regards

emc script vnxe

Dear Waldo

In principle, yes. As long as you convert any input into the PRTG custom sensor format, you can include it in your monitoring. While we don't provide example scripts for this specific case, we document the sensor API in the PRTG webinterface, menu Setup | PRTG API, tab "Custom Sensors".

Example scripts, demonstrating how to output to PRTG, are included in the PRTG installation folder, usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXE" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXEXML".

SSH scripts work a bit different, they have to be provided on the target computer either in "/var/prtg/scripts" or "/var/prtg/scriptsxml" depending on the sensor type (custom, or advanced.)
