Last Update 2011-08-12

Simple shell script to monitor FreeBSD geom based mirroring.

Status is red for degraded (missing a component) and yellow when recovering.

Pretty much standard fare:

[gmirror]
    ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
    NEEDS xymond
    CMD  $XYMONHOME/ext/gmirror.sh
    LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/gmirror.log
    INTERVAL 5m

Or the equivalent on the client side.

$RM $XYMONTMP/${COLUMN}.out

exit 0

Nice features like green/red/yellow dots against individual mirrors.

Ability to exclude mirrors that we don't care about.

As with all of these things, the code started out by kicking around other people's code.
