New Relic Samba monitoring Plugin

The New Relic Samba Plugin enables monitoring Samba, and it reports the following data:

  • Amount of active Users
  • Amount of active Machines
  • Amount of open Files
  • Amount of open Files per User (Average)

Requirements

The Samba monitoring Plugin for New Relic requires the following:

  • A New Relic account. Signup for a free account at http://newrelic.com
  • You need to install this plugin on a Samba server. That host also needs Ruby (tested with 1.8.7, 1.9.3), and support for rubygems.

Instructions for running the Samba agent

  1. Install this gem from RubyGems:

    sudo gem install newrelic_samba_agent

  2. Install config, execute

    sudo newrelic_samba_agent install - it will create /etc/newrelic/newrelic_samba_agent.yml file for you.

  3. Edit the /etc/newrelic/newrelic_samba_agent.yml file generated in step 2.

    3.1. replace YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE with your New Relic license key. Your license key can be found under Account Settings at https://rpm.newrelic.com, see https://newrelic.com/docs/subscriptions/license-key for more help.

    3.2. replace the agent name 'samba' to any unique instance name of choice

    3.3. replace the path of smbstatus if needed

  4. Execute

    newrelic_samba_agent run

  5. Go back to the Plugins list and after a brief period you will see the Samba Plugin listed in your New Relic account

Keep this process running

You can use services like these to manage this process and run it as a daemon.
