We recently recycled a Dell Poweredge 1750 equipped with a PERC 4/Di RAID controller into my realm and have it running FreeBSD 8. The PERC4/Di is a rebranded LSI MegaRAID controller and uses the amr driver under FreeBSD.
There is an appropriately titled “check_raid_amrstat – Dell AMR PERC4 FreeBSD” plugin already on Nagios Exchange and Monitoring Exchange, but as usual I can’t seem to be content with some other people’s code.
I cleaned up the code a bit. It is a bit more in sticking with the plugin writing guidelines. Presents a bit more info than the original in a more compact format, with output similar to my MegaRAID SAS plugin. Nothing radical at all, but I like it better and present it here in case you want to see an alternative.
