How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?β
Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon poller's CLI using the
centreon-engine user account (su - centreon-engine
) and test the plugin by
running the following command:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_ceph_restapi.pl \
--plugin=apps::ceph::restapi::plugin \
--mode=osd \
--hostname='10.0.0.1' \
--port='8443' \
--proto='https' \
--api-username='my-username' \
--api-password='my-password' \
--verbose
The expected command output is shown below:
OK: Number of osd detected: 3, online 100.00% (3 on 3), participating 100.00% (3 on 3) | 'osd.detected.count'=3;;;0; 'osd.online.count'=3;;;0;3 'osd.online.percentage'=100.00%;;;0;100 'osd.participating.count'=3;;;0;3 'osd.participating.percentage'=100.00%;;;0;100
All available options for a given mode can be displayed by adding the
--help
parameter to the command:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_ceph_restapi.pl \
--plugin=apps::ceph::restapi::plugin \
--mode=osd \
--help
All available modes can be displayed by adding the
--list-mode
parameter to the command:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_ceph_restapi.pl \
--plugin=apps::ceph::restapi::plugin \
--list-mode
