Description

-----------

Arborist is a monitoring toolkit that follows the UNIX philosophy

of small parts and loose coupling for stability, reliability, and

customizability.

This adds various SNMP support to Arborist's monitoring, specifically

for OIDS involving:

 - Disk space capacity

 - System CPU utilization

 - Memory and swap usage

 - Running process checks

It tries to provide sane defaults, while allowing fine grained settings

per resource node.  Both Windows and UCD-SNMP systems are supported.

Prerequisites

-------------

  * Ruby 2.3 or better

  * Net-SNMP libraries

Installation

------------

    $ gem install arborist-snmp

Configuration

-------------

Global configuration overrides can be added to the Arborist config file,

under the `snmp` key.

The defaults are as follows:

The `warn_at` keys imply usage capacity as a percentage. ie:  "Warn me

when a disk mount point is at 90 percent utilization."

### Library Options

  * **timeout**: How long to wait for an SNMP response, in seconds?

  * **retries**: If an error occurs during SNMP communication, try again this many times before giving up.

  * **community**: The SNMP community name for reading data.

  * **version**: The SNMP protocol version.  1 and 2c are supported.

  * **port**: The UDP port SNMP is listening on.

  * **batchsize**: How many hosts to gather SNMP data on simultaneously.

### Category Options and Behavior

#### CPU

  * **warn_at**: Set the node to a `warning` state when utilization is at or over this percentage.

Utilization takes into account CPU core counts, and uses the 5 minute

load average to calculate a percentage of current CPU use.

2 properties are set on the node. `cpu` contains the detected CPU count

and current utilization. `load` contains the 1, 5, and 15 minute load

averages of the machine.

#### Disk

  * **warn_at**: Set the node to a `warning` state when disk capacity is at or over this amount.

                 You can also set this to a Hash, keyed on mount name, if you want differing

                 warning values per mount point.  A mount point that is at 100% capacity will

                 be explicity set to `down`, as the resource it represents has been exhausted.

  * **include**: String or Array of Strings.  If present, only matching mount points are

                 considered while performing checks.  These are treated as regular expressions.

  * **exclude**: String or Array of Strings.  If present, matching mount point are removed

                 from evaluation.  These are treated as regular expressions.

#### Memory

  * **physical_warn_at**: Set the node to a `warning` state when RAM utilization is at or over this percentage.

  * **swap_warn_at**: Set the node to a `warning` state when swap utilization is at or over this percentage.

better indication of an impending problem.

#### Processes

  * **check**: String or Array of Strings.  A list of processes to check if running.  These are

               treated as regular expressions, and include process arguments.

If any process in the list is not found in the process table, the

resource is set to a `down` state.

Examples

--------

In the simplest form, using default behaviors and settings, here's an

example Monitor configuration:

Additionally, if you'd like these SNMP monitors to rely on the SNMP

service itself, you can add a UDP check for that.

And a default node declaration:

All configuration can be overridden from the defaults using the `config`

pragma, per node.  Here's a more elaborate example that performs the following:

  * All SNMP monitored resources are quieted if the SNMP service itself is unavailable.

  * Only monitor specific disk partitions, warning at different capacities .

  * Ensure the 'important' processing is running with the '--production' flag.

  * Warns at 95% memory utilization OR 10% swap.
