Description

This connector discovers QLogic HBAs of servers running Linux using the scli utility provided with the QLogic Drivers.

hardware linux network qlogic solaris

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Superseded Connector

This connector is superseded by:

• QlogicHBA

Supersedes

This connector supersedes:

• CpqHBA
• SMISHBA

Target

Typical platform: QLogic

Operating systems: Linux, Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: QLogic's SCLI utility

Technology and protocols: Commands

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

• scli

This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.

Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the metricshub account:

metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: scli

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t linux -c +QlogicSCLI --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list scli

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: linux
        connectors: [ +QlogicSCLI ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          ssh:
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt
            useSudo: true
            useSudoCommands: [ "scli" ]

Connector Activation Criteria

The QLogic HBAs (scli) connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: which scli
  • Output contains: /scli$ (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: scli -g
  • Output contains: Total QLogic HBA(s) : [1-9] (regex)
