Adaptec RAID controller monitoring script in Perl

Thank you for visiting this page, this page has been update in another link Adaptec raid controller monitoring script in perl

Adaptec RAID Controller are used widely on servers, here is a script in Perl which can monitor the array status. It sends e-mail when it detects the error. I put in cron.daily to let it run twice a day on my servers.

Alert e-mail looks like

Dear System Adminstrator:

  Raid Status Report on host <hostname>:

  Tool arcconf GETCONFIG 1 AL

  Status of logical drive                  : Critical

Main command used to get array/controller status

arcconf getconfig 1 al

Code in Perl

#set -v        # debugging tools
#set -x

use strict;
use POSIX;
use Sys::Hostname;
use File::Basename;

use vars qw( $msg $debug $host );
