Operating mode¶
Centreon-Connector-AS400 can run in daemon mode or command line. It’s also packaged with check plugin, connecting to the daemon, and responsible to transmitt the results to engine/nagios.
Command line¶
With command line, a java virtual machine is started each time. This mode should be used only for testing purposes, toi avoid high CPU / memory consomption:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| java -jar connector-as400-1.x.x.jar -I -H %HOST% --login %LOGIN% --password %PASSWORD% -C %CHECK% -A %ARGS% |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Enter the different arguments:
| Attribute | Description | Exemple |
|---|---|---|
| HOST | IP address or host name of the AS/400 | 10.30.10.30 |
| LOGIN | AS/400 user name | USER123 |
| PASSWORD | AS/400 password | PASSWORD123 |
| CHECK | Check command | cpuUsage |
| ARGS | Check command arguments | 80!90 |
Note: The command arguments are separated by ” ! ” .
Daemon¶
The daemon mode permit to launch the same commands than from command line without having to restart a java virtual machine at each use. The daemon listens on a port, waiting for query. A check plugin ( check_merethis_as400_generic ) is available to connect to the daemon and return a result to the Nagios format. Check plugin arguments are similar to the java program. However, it is necessary to specify the address and port of the daemon:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| check_merethis_as400_generic \-\-connector %DAEMONHOST%:%DAEMONPORT% \-\-host %HOST% \-\-user %USER% \-\-password %PASSWORD% \-\-check %CHECK% \-\-args %ARGS% |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Enter the different arguments:
| Attribut | Description | Exemple |
|---|---|---|
| DAEMONHOST | IP address or host name of the server executing daemon | 10.30.10.20 |
| DAEMONPORT | Daemon port | 8091 |
| HOST | IP address or host name of the AS/400 | 10.30.10.30 |
| LOGIN | AS/400 user name | USER123 |
| PASSWORD | AS/400 password | PASSWORD123 |
| CHECK | Check command | cpuUsage |
| ARGS | Check command arguments | 80!90 |
