Monitoring SAP Netweaver with Nagios

[Former Member]

I started to implement a new plugin in 2013. It is called check_sap_health (i always name my plugins like this, check_oracle_health, check_mssql_health,...). Unlike the old plugins (check_sap) it's written in Perl, based on the module sapnwrfc. This way it can be extended easily by self-written addons.

Some examples of it's usage:

$ check_sap_health --ashost 172.24.0.195 --sysnr 42 \

  --username NAGIOS --password *** \

  --mode connection-time

OK - 0.06 seconds to connect as NAGIOS@NPL|'connection_time'=0.06;1;5;;

$ check_sap_health ... \

  --mode ccms-mte-check \

  --name 'SAP CCMS Monitor Templates' \

  --name2 'Enqueue' \

  --name3 'NPL#Enqueue#Enqueue Server#Total Lock Time' \

  --separator '#'

OK - Total Lock Time = 0.188 s | 'Enqueue Server_Total Lock Time'=0.18s;;;;

$ check_sap_health ... \

  --with-mymodules-dyn-dir $USER4/etc/check_sap_health \

  --mode my-bapi-bpgetlist --name A000000001

OK - BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_GETDETAIL is OK, found partner ConSol* Software GmbH, runtime was 0.14s | 'runtime'=0.14;5;10;;

$ check_sap_health ... \

  --with-mymodules-dyn-dir $OMD_ROOT/etc/check_sap_health \

  --mode my-snap-dumps-check

CRITICAL - 2 new shortdumps appeared between 20140509 171649 and 20140513 164249
