    Description

      This implements a new agent hdarray that will detect if you have installed the array configuration utilities and then push the results back as a sensor. Supports Dell perc 6/i, LSI and adaptec controllers.

            [OBS-233] Add sensors for monitoring array drive and controller failures

            I think "health" should be just "status". Boolean would sound too clinical, and health is confusing, as it's used elsewhere.

            Cisco has a lot of boolean sensors too. I will need to put those here.

            I am really looking forward to this feature. "Double the thanks, and double the kudos"

            For right now I was thinking of creating multiple states but as I wrote it I found that part useless. I didn't see a non graphing object. Be nice to make a nagios cacti replacement. Check mk made it so easy I couldn't resist.

            What do these 'sensors' return? Just boolean?

            I originally thought it could be a landing place for all sorts of sensors without having to build more infrastructure for it but if you prefer I can just make it more unique.

            Why did you chose "health" as the sensor type? It's quite confusing :>

            Description
            		 
            Provides a way to report back current array status as sensors.  Uses a bash script and connects to the installed array utilties.
            		 
             
            		 
            Instructions 
            You must have one of these applications installed.
            		 
            Dell Open Manage: /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omreport
            		 
            LSI: /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64
            		 
            Adaptec: /usr/StorMan/arcconf
            		 
             
            		 
            Copy the hdarray script from the scripts/agent-local directory to the server and place under check_mk local/ folder.
            		 
             
            		 
            The sensors will automatically be added and you can view them in the overview, under the health menu (System Health) and under settings sensors.
            		 
             
            		 
             
            		 
            Note for the LSI controller you must disable to STDIO redirect in the check_mk_agent script
            		 
            In file: /usr/bin/check_mk_agent
            		 
            Comment out these lines:
            		 
            #if [ "$1" = -d ]
            		 
            #then
            		 
            #    set -xv
            		 
            #else
            		 
            #    exec <&- 2>/dev/null
            		 
            #fi
