Emcunity300: on CheckMK2.0

We have upgraded checkMK2.0, after that we are not able to monitor EMC Unity Storage.
I can see the plugin also installed “emcunity300”

Also I can see all bunch of Plugin are there, but not sure how to use it.

I think this special agent is an extra installed mkp package.
Can you take a look at the folder “~/local/share/check_mk/agents/special/” if there is something inside.
Also it would be good to make a “cmk -D emchostname” to get the current special agent call.
This must then be tested on the command line as i think you get some errors there.

Hi Andreas
thanks for the your feedback.
there is nothing in the folder
OMD[london]:~$ ls -al ~/local/share/check_mk/agents/special/
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 2 london london 6 May 3 17:57 ./
drwxrwxr-x 6 london london 63 Apr 28 10:15 …/

however when I run “cmk -D emchostname”

OMD[london]:~$ cmk -D emchostname

This is what I get while rescan from UI

Your first output looks ok - no own special agent. But the error message in the web UI says something else. It looks like that there is something :slight_smile:
What happens on your command line with “cmk --debug -vvn emchostname”?

Hi,
I think that you’ve installed this package: Checkmk Exchange
The repository for this plugin is here: https://github.com/ImTheLucKyOne/check_mk_emcunity/issues/24.

I made some quick conversation as an pull request to the original repository mentioned from @kdeutsch
As you can read there i cannot test further as i have no access to an EMC Unity.

Hi,
I have run and compare the emcunity plugin on checkMK 1.6 and checkMK2.0.
the same plugin running as expected and also giving the same output at CLI.
But when it comes to UI , in new CheckMK all the LUN related services are showing “Check faild”
emc_plugin_output.txt (2.9 KB)

If you can sent me a complete agent output as private message i can have a look what needs to be done.
The first step is done with the special agent. It is nice to hear that it is working.

I checked with your short of output of this single LUN and got no error.

I have attached file and sent you as pvt message.

Ok i will take a look - LUN is working but some other checks are crashed :smiley:
Like PSU, Battery and Memory Module

Do you need crash report for these services/checks?

All ok - here is a version of the mkp that gives no error message at my test system.
