[Zenoss-dev] Re: How to monitor water pumps?

You could use maintenance windows to do this.

Write a shell script to poll your pumps that produces output that conforms to the nagios plug-in interface:


Code:

$ check_pump 123.45.67.89
Pump is On|pump=1




Add a data source to your pump device template with a pump datapoint.

Add a threshold to alarm whenever pump is less than 1.

Put all your pumps into a maintenance mode.

Add maintenance windows to put your pumps into production mode when the pumps should be on.

Alternatively, you could incorporate a schedule into the check_pump command:


Code:

$ check_pump 123.45.67.89
Pump is off and should be|pump=1

$ check_pump 123.45.67.89
Pump is on but should be off|pump=0
