Hi Dimos

If you have a SIB with a cluster as member, then only one server in the cluster runs the engine at a time (except if choosing the "Scalability with HA" policy).

So as the script works currently, if you have 4 servers in a cluster, then you must configure a SIB destination check for each server, thus resulting in 3 UNKNOWN, and one OK message.

I suggest that we add a "cluster" switch to SIB destination check, so that perfservmon doesn't return a UNKNOWN, but "OK: inactive SIB engine" for cluster nodes that doesn't run the engine, as a way of saying "Yeah, yeah I know there's no data, but its expected" to Nagios.

Or do you have a better idea?

I'm working in a DMZ where the Security, and Compliance team have demanded that all traffic are encrypted - Especially if credentials are passed.

So this plugin is amazing, and I will work on adding servlet monitoring def's as well. But the lack of SSL kinda blocks me from using the plugin :(

Hi
Trying to test your plugin and getting this error( parameter values are masked ) :

python perfservmon.py -C OPFCell retrieve -N xxxx -P xxxx -u xxxx -p xxxx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "perfservmon.py", line 804, in
parseperfxml(path=startingpath, cellname=arguments.CellName)
File "perfservmon.py", line 466, in parseperfxml
with shelve.open(shelvefilename, flag='c') as pfile:
AttributeError: DbfilenameShelf instance has no attribute 'exit'

python --version

Python 2.7.5

I am receiving this error when running the retrieval command:
except urllib2.HTTPError as error:
^SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is this due to the python version?
Version 2.4.3 is running on this machine

The perfservlet is not accessible (we get a socket.timeout: timed out) once a WAS server in the Cell experiences OutOfMemory issue.
Thus we get an alert like the following from collector untill the OOM WAS Server is restarted:

CRITICAL - Error retrieving PMI data! Check your Cell status!

Add support for Python 3 and try to keep support for Python 2.7

The following lines work only for percentage Metrics (e.g. Heap Usage):

    show_parser.add_argument("-c", type=int, action="store", dest='Critical', choices=xrange(1, 100),
                             help="Critical Value for Metric", required=False)
    show_parser.add_argument("-w", type=int, action="store", dest='Warning', choices=xrange(1, 100),
                             help="Warning Value for Metric", required=False)

Should be corrected to work with raw values, e.g. Warning Number of Available Messages in SIB Topic.

Hello Dimos,

When I run this command :
./perfservmon.py -C HP-ProBook-G5Node01Cell retrieve -N localhost -P 9443 -H https

I receive this message :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/perfservmon.py", line 804, in
parseperfxml(path=startingpath, cellname=arguments.CellName)
File "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/perfservmon.py", line 466, in parseperfxml
with shelve.open(shelvefilename, flag='c') as pfile:
AttributeError: DbfilenameShelf instance has no attribute 'exit'

After I run this command :
./perfservmon.py -C HP-ProBook-G5Node01Cell show -n HP-ProBook-G5Node01 -s server1 -M WebContainer -c 90 -w 70

and the machine answers :
UNKNOWN - Error opening cached metrics file

Could you help me to find what's wrong ?
Thank you very much,
with best regards,
Mikhael

I need to use perfservermon.py for monitoring my WAS parmeters

What I have done : Installed and configured perfservlet

Perfservlet is accessible fine.

but while running the perfservmon.py command from Nagios Server. I'm getting the below error

Can you please tell me what i'm doing wrong

I am running the script is getting the following error. I am running the script is getting the following error. I tried to find the problem but to no avail.

python perfservmon.py -C MYCELL retrieve -N MYHOST -P 9080

The plugin frequently returns _gdbm.error: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable under high load.
Probably need to optimize shelve.open() usage (https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/shelve.html)
