LSI Logic - LsiUtil - RAID Enterprise

Description

This connector provides information about physical disks and volumes for LSI Logic SAS RAID controllers through the lsiutil utility.

This connector is superseded by:

hardware[4] linux[5] lsi[6] raid[7] solaris[8]

Target

Typical platform: Any system with LSI lsiutil

Operating systems: Linux, Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: lsiutil

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

  • lsiutil

This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.

Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the metricshub account:

metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: lsiutil

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t linux -c +LSIUtilUNIX --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list lsiutil

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: linux
        connectors: [ +LSIUtilUNIX ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          ssh:
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt
            useSudo: true
            useSudoCommands: [ "lsiutil" ]

Connector Activation Criteria

The LSI Logic - LsiUtil - RAID connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

  • Operating System is Linux or Oracle Solaris
  • The command below succeeds on the monitored host
    • Command: for CONTROLLERID in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do lsiutil -p$CONTROLLERID -a 1,2,0 21; done
    • Output contains: ^PhysDisk [0-9] (regex)
