prtgZFSSAhealth

PRTG Python Advanced script to get health status from ZFSSA using Rest service.

Dependencies

request (use pip and the requirements.txt file provided) and paepy (included in prtg).

It is a good idea to get pip for your prtg server, so use any of the following links in how to get pip:

Open powershell with privileges.

Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs

Then install the requirements.

& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Python34\Scripts\pip.exe' install -r requirements.txt

Copy your script to "\Custom Sensors\python" directory (example: C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\python).

Include your sensor as Python Script Advanced.

In Additional Parameters tab, use some pattern like the next examples:

for Standalone:

--hosts <zfssanode1> --username <username> --password <password>

for Cluster:

--hosts <zfssanode1,zfssanode2> --username <username> --password <password>

You need a ZFSSA user with minimum privileges to retrieve data from the system.
The Rest service must be enabled in the ZFSSA.
Be careful about the sensor frequency, the pools takes some time to return a response depending on you configuration.
You need Administrator privileges in the PRTG server to copy the scripts, install pip and the packages with pip.
Copy the file prtg.custom.yesno.problems.ovl to the custom lookups directory "\lookups\custom" (example: C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\lookups\custom), for more info check https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/define_lookups.
