I’ve got one AD integrated NAS4FREE server running on Supermicro hardware. It is rock solid but still, it would be nice to pull some monitoring info from it, innit?
Related to previous post about local checks with check_mk – based on Monitoring FreeBSD but slightly adapted for use with NAS4FREE, here are quick steps to make it happen. Tested on 9 and 10.
pkg install xinetd
vi /usr/local/etc/xinetd.conf
defaults
{
# Please note that you need a log_type line to be able to use log_on_success
# and log_on_failure. The default is the following :
# log_type = SYSLOG daemon info
service check_mk
{
type = UNLISTED
port = 6556
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /mnt/tank/service/local/bin/check_mk_agent
only_from = 10.10.8.130
disable = no
}
}
vi /etc/services
check_mk 6556/tcp #check_mk agent
vi /etc/hosts.allow
check_mk_agent : 10.10.8.130 : allow check_mk_agent : ALL : deny
vi /etc/rc.conf
xinetd_enable="YES"
and then
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/xinetd start
Check_MK comes with a dedicated agent for FreeBSD: check_mk_agent.freebsd – make sure to copy it from OMD server /omd/sites/mysite/share/check_mk/agents/ to /mnt/tank/service/local/bin/check_mk_agent on NAS4FREE server.
Oh, and check out my sophisticated check_mk script that pulls SMART status from disks!

That’s a real piece of art, init?
