Cisco API - monitoring with SAM

MathieuJM

Hi,

I'm trying to monitor process on a Cisco ACI using a Linux script.

the script is quite basic:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$stat=`ps -A | grep nginx| wc -l`;
$exit=`echo $?`;
if ( $exit == 0 ) {
        print "Message: Running nginx: $stat\n";
        print "Statistic: $stat\n";
        exit 0;
        }
print "Message: ERROR: Can't check running nginx instances. Check the syntax of command (ps) in script. \n";
exit 1;

I can SSH to the device, i can create a script in /tmp and i can run the script and i have the correct behavior.

The only issue is when i execute the script from SAM,  i have the following error :

Checking of directory existence failed. %

I have set the Script Working Directory: to /tmp.

I have also successfully test to create a file in /tmp using a scp command and from the command shell itself.

Have you any idea about this issue ?

Cheers

Out of curiosity can I ask what data you're trying to get outside of the cisco ACI support that was added in NPM? Cisco ACI Monitoring with Network Performance Monitor | SolarWinds
