How can monitor EMC devices such as EMC unity and datadomain with checkmk ? Is that possible ?
Hi Alex,
every EMC device is different, to make sure … well not sure what they thought of it 
datadomain is included in the default checkmk snmp support
unity has an mkp and needs the unisphereCLI that you have to download from dell - an mkp is here: Checkmk Exchange and there is a version patched for cmk 2.0 and up check_mk_emcunity/emcunity-3.2.mkp at master-for-cmk-2.0 · ImTheLucKyOne/check_mk_emcunity · GitHub
About Datadomain which option should I select in checkmk to add community , ip and other options ?
Hi Alex,
there’s very detailed documentation about the possible snmp settings at Monitoring via SNMP - Monitoring of SNMP devices with Checkmk also, there’s a section in the beginner’s guide: Setting up monitoring

Would you please help me about follow steps to monitor EMC unity devices ?
I did step 1 and step 2 on my checkmk container
Also I did step3 in my checkmk container with root user such as follow :
root@checkmk:/opt# uemcli -d 171.10.20.30 -u Monitor -securePassword -sslPolicy store /sys/general show
Password:
Storage system address: 171.10.20.30
Storage system port: 443
HTTPS connection
1: System name = CKM00182801752
Model = Unity 600
Platform type = EMC Storage System
Product serial number = CKM00182801752
Auto failback = on
Health state = OK (5)
I did step4 and I have download emcunity-3.2.mkp
Would you please help me about step5 and step6 ? How can get data from EMC device now, and monitor on checkmk GUI ? I don’t know how can perform step 5 and 6
Would you please help me how can do steps 5 and 6 ?
Hi Alex,
have you added the mkp as well? than you should be able to see a new rule in the checkmk GUI called “Check state of EMC Unity storage systems” as described in step 5.

I did step1-4 and also I have just downloaded emcunity-3.2.mkp . Do I have to put it in specific path ? what should I do now ?
Please see attached pic . I don’t have any option to add extensions or plugins
So I installed with mkp command and now shows:
OMD[mysite]:/tmp$ mkp list
emcunity
How can use from it in checkmk GUI ? according to follow pic there are not find any items with Unity
That is really strange I cannot see any that relates to unity although this is my output
OMD[mysite]:/tmp$ mkp list
emcunity
I just installed it with mkp command . Do I have to do active it ? there are not any items or change after install mkp
Also my checkmk version is : Version: 2.1.0p18
Hi Alex,
if “mkp list” shows the emcunity package, it would seem you did the right things to install the mkp.
That the “EMC Unity” integration doesn’t show up in your setup search is odd, have to restarted apache (and possibly redis?)
I don’t think that should be necessary, but maybe it is. (a complete “omd restart” would cover this as well.)

Hi,
what’s the output of mkp list emcunity?
Can you find it in Setup > Other integrations > Hardware?

This is my output :
OMD[mysite]:~$ mkp list emcunity

Also there are not anything relates unity in Hardware
As I am using checkmk as container , after install mkp stop/start container . As I know after install package by GUI we use active to apply changes but after install mkp via cli just stop/start container . Is that ok ?
Can you share the screenshot of " Setup >>Maintenance >> Extension packages" ? Is the MKP even enabled ?
I am using Raw edition and as I know extension package is just in enterprise edition (I guess) . So I have installed in CLI mode as I said before that, also I have attached pic from Maintenance. Also I am running checkmk as container
On the command line inside the container you can check with.
mkp -v enable emcunity 3.2
It moves all the files to where they should be and checks that they have the right permissions.
On my test system (also docker container) it is then shown inside the “Other integrations” → “Hardware” before the EMC VNX entry.
Thanks. This is my output :
OMD[mysite]:~$ mkp -v enable emcunity 3.2
Updating emcunity from version 3.2 to 3.2.

But after that another checked and nothing shows please see attached pic
On my system it shows up as expected. You can only take a look at the web.log in the site.
But i think that there will be no error message inside the log.
It is not needed to restart the container or anything after installing a package.
It must show up after installation.
something else I just noticed: if you are using cmk in a container, how do you install the unisphere cli? inside the container?
