1 title: State of multipathing on Linux
7 This check monitors the state of multipath devices on Linux
8 hosts. For each multipath device at time of inventory the number
9 of paths is put into the check parameters. If later the number
10 of paths is less then expected, the check goes critical. So it
11 does if any of the paths is broken.
13 If the number of paths is higher than expected, the check goes
14 warning. A reinventory of the check might be neccessary in that
17 This check is based on the output of the command {multipath -l} as
18 sent by the Linux agent. It correctly deals with various subtle
19 differences between the available versions of the multipath tools.
22 The UUID of the multipath device, e.g. {"360a980004334644d654a364469555a76"}.
23 If the multipath device has an alias you can alternatively specify the
27 One check for each multipath device is created. Via {iventory_multipath_rules}
28 you can specify whether an alias should be used as item instead of the UUID.
