Last update: November 10, 2021
This plugin was created to monitor a Promise Vtrak storage device. It monitors the physical drives and the chassis itself (power supplies, fans, etc). Several attached enclosures are supported. The plugin is more or less a merge between check_promise_chassis.pl by Barry O'Donovan and check_ibm_ts_tape.pl by myself, although it is completely rewritten from scratch and many additional checks have been added.
As I don't have any Promise Vtrak devices around to test further development, this plugin is end of life. Use as is.
If you are looking for commercial support for this monitoring plugin, need customized modifications or in general customized monitoring plugins, contact us at Infiniroot.com.
