Last update: March 15, 2023
This plugin was created to monitor the usage and status of ZFS Pools (zpools). The code was based on the plugin "Check Solaris ZFS Pools" but was completely rewritten in order to allow running the plugin on multiple OS.
The plugin supports a warning and a critical threshold for the usage (similar to disk usage) on the ZFS Pool. If one of the disks in the ZFS Pool is set to DEGRADED, the plugin will return a CRITICAL status.
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.
