CHECK_HP_BLADECHASSIS(8)	 Nagios	plugin	      CHECK_HP_BLADECHASSIS(8)

NAME
       check_hp_bladechassis  -	 Nagios	 plugin	 for checking the status of HP
       blade enclosures	via SNMP

SYNOPSIS
       check_hp_bladechassis -H	<HOSTNAME> [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       check_hp_bladechassis is	a plugin for the  Nagios  monitoring  software
       that checks the hardware	health status of a HP blade enclosure/chassis.
       The plugin is only tested with the c7000	enclosure.

COMMON OPTIONS
       -H, --hostname HOSTNAME
	   The	transport  address (hostname or	IP) of the blade enclosure you
	   want	to monitor. This option	is mandatory.

       -C, --community COMMUNITY
	   This	option expects a string	that is	to be used as the SNMP	commu-
	   nity	 name  when using SNMP version 1 or 2c.	 By default the	commu-
	   nity	name is	set to "public"	if the option is not present.

       -p, --perfdata
	   Collect performance data. Performance data collected	is total power
	   usage.

       -t, --timeout SECONDS
	   The number of seconds after which the plugin	 will  abort.  Default
	   timeout is 30 seconds if the	option is not present.

       -i, --info
	   Prefix any alerts with the enclosure	serial number.

       -v, --verbose
	   In  case of an alert, the part number, spare	part number and	serial
	   number of the failed	component is appended to the alert message.

       -e, --extinfo
	   Display a short summary of system information (product, serial num-
	   ber,	firmware and the number	of blades and I/O modules) in case  of
	   an alert.

       -s, --state
	   Prefix  each	alert with its corresponding service state (i.e. warn-
	   ing,	critical etc.).	This is	useful in case of several alerts  from
	   the same monitored system.

       --short-state
	   Same	as the --state option above, except that the state is abbrevi-
	   ated	to a single letter (W=warning, C=critical etc.).

       -d, --debug
	   Debug  output.  Will	report status on all monitored subsystems, re-
	   gardless of their alert state. Will also report total power usage.

       -h, --help
	   Display help	text.

       -V, --version
	   Display version info.

ADVANCED OPTIONS
       -P, --protocol PROTOCOL
	   SNMP	protocol version. This option is optional and expects a	 digit
	   (i.e.   1,  2  or  3) to define the SNMP version. The default is 2,
	   i.e.	SNMP version 2c.

       --port PORT
	   SNMP	port of	the remote (monitored) system. Defaults	to  the	 well-
	   known SNMP port 161.

       -U, --username SECURITYNAME
	   [SNMPv3]  The  User-based  Security	Model (USM) used by SNMPv3 re-
	   quires that a securityName be specified. This  option  is  required
	   when	 using	SNMP version 3,	and expects a string 1 to 32 octets in
	   lenght.

       --authpassword PASSWORD,	--authkey KEY
	   [SNMPv3] By default a securityLevel of "noAuthNoPriv"  is  assumed.
	   If  the  --authpassword  option is specified, the securityLevel be-
	   comes "authNoPriv".	The --authpassword  option  expects  a	string
	   which is at least 1 octet in	length as argument.

	   Optionally, instead of the --authpassword option, the --authkey op-
	   tion	 can be	used so	that a plain text password does	not have to be
	   specified in	a script.  The --authkey option	expects	a  hexadecimal
	   string  produced  by	 localizing  the  password with	the authorita-
	   tiveEngineID	for the	specific destination  device.	The  "snmpkey"
	   utility  included  with  the	 Net::SNMP distribution	can be used to
	   create the hexadecimal string (see snmpkey).

       --authprotocol ALGORITHM
	   [SNMPv3] Two	different hash algorithms are defined by SNMPv3	 which
	   can	be  used by the	Security Model for authentication. These algo-
	   rithms are HMAC-MD5-96 "MD5"	(RFC  1321)  and  HMAC-SHA-96  "SHA-1"
	   (NIST  FIPS PUB 180-1). The default algorithm used by the plugin is
	   HMAC-MD5-96.	 This behavior can be changed by  using	 this  option.
	   The option expects either the string	"md5" or "sha" to be passed as
	   argument to modify the hash algorithm.

       --privpassword PASSWORD,	--privkey KEY
	   [SNMPv3] By specifying the options --privkey	or --privpassword, the
	   securityLevel  associated  with  the	object becomes "authPriv". Ac-
	   cording to SNMPv3, privacy  requires	 the  use  of  authentication.
	   Therefore, if either	of these two options are present and the --au-
	   thkey  or --authpassword arguments are missing, the creation	of the
	   object fails.  The --privkey	and --privpassword options expect  the
	   same	 input	as  the	 --authkey  and	--authpassword options respec-
	   tively.

       --privprotocol ALGORITHM
	   [SNMPv3] The	User-based Security Model described in	RFC  3414  de-
	   fines  a  single  encryption	protocol to be used for	privacy.  This
	   protocol, CBC-DES "DES" (NIST FIPS PUB 46-1), is used by default or
	   if the string "des" is passed to  the  --privprotocol  option.  The
	   Net::SNMP  module also supports RFC 3826 which describes the	use of
	   CFB128-AES-128 "AES"	(NIST FIPS PUB 197) in the USM.	 The  AES  en-
	   cryption  protocol  can be selected by passing "aes"	or "aes128" to
	   the --privprotocol option.

	   One of the following	arguments  are	required:  des,	 aes,  aes128,
	   3des, 3desde

       --linebreak=STRING
	   check_hp_bladechassis  will	sometimes  report  more	than one line,
	   e.g.	if there are several alerts. If	the script has a TTY, it  will
	   use	regular	 linebreaks.  If  not (which is	the case with NRPE) it
	   will	use HTML linebreaks. Sometimes it can  be  useful  to  control
	   what	 the plugin uses as a line separator, and this option provides
	   that	control.

	   The argument	is the exact string to be used as the line  separator.
	   There  are two exceptions, i.e. two keywords	that translates	to the
	   following:

	   REG Regular linebreaks, i.e.	"\n".

	   HTML
	       HTML linebreaks,	i.e. "<br/>".

	   This	is a rather special option that	is normally  not  needed.  The
	   default behaviour should be sufficient for most users.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The  option  "--debug"  (or "-d") can be	specified to display status of
       all components.

DEPENDENCIES
       The perl	module Net::SNMP is required on	the Nagios host.

EXIT STATUS
       If no errors are	discovered, a value of 0 (OK)  is  returned.  An  exit
       value of	1 (WARNING) signifies one or more non-critical errors, while 2
       (CRITICAL) signifies one	or more	critical errors.

       The exit	value 3	(UNKNOWN) is reserved for errors within	the script, or
       errors getting values via SNMP.
