Unmaintained

------------



NOTE: This project is unmaintained. There is a more active fork available

at the following URL: https://github.com/rouben/zfswatcher



***



ZFS pool monitoring and notification daemon.



Please see the project web site for general information about features,

supported operating environments and to download a tarball or packaged

version of this software:



http://zfswatcher.damicon.fi/



Source repository:



https://github.com/damicon/zfswatcher/



Installing and upgrading on Debian/Ubuntu

-----------------------------------------



Download the .deb package and install it with `dpkg`, for example:



    dpkg -i zfswatcher_0.03-1_amd64.deb



The service is started by default according to the Debian and Ubuntu

conventions.



Installing and upgrading on RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux

--------------------------------------------------------



Download the .rpm package and install it with `yum`, for example:



    yum install zfswatcher-0.03-1.x86_64.rpm



The service is **not** started by default according to Red Hat

conventions. It can be started as follows:



    service zfswatcher start



Installing from source on Linux and FreeBSD

-------------------------------------------



Generally it is best to use the ready made packages on Debian/Ubuntu

and RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux.



If you are packaging this software yourself or you want to compile

from source for other reasons, you can follow these instructions.



### Prerequisites



This software is implemented in Go programming language. Further

information about installing the Go environment is available

at the following URL:



http://golang.org/doc/install



The version 1.0.3 of the Go programming language on a 64 bit platform

is recommended.



The software has been developed on Debian 6.0 (squeeze) and Ubuntu 12.04

(precise) but it should work fine on other Linux distributions and also

recent FreeBSD versions.



### Compiling



Optionally edit the Makefile to set the installation directories.

Then run:



    make



### Installation



    make install



### Running



There are some OS/distribution specific startup scripts in "etc"

subdirectory. They may be useful.



See the installed zfswatcher(8) manual page for information on invoking

the zfswatcher process.



Installing from source on Solaris/OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana

---------------------------------------------------------



The normal "gc" Go toolchain is not available on this plaform.

You need to compile a recent version of

[gccgo](http://golang.org/doc/install/gccgo) from the Subversion

repository at `svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gccgo`. After that

you can utilize the `etc/gccgo-build.sh` shell script.



Good luck!



Configuration

-------------



Edit the configuration file:



    editor /etc/zfs/zfswatcher.conf



Verify the configuration syntax:



    zfswatcher -t



Restart the process:



    service zfswatcher restart



Some notes:



- See the configuration file comments for information about the configuration

  settings.



- Enclosure LED management is disabled by default. Currently an external

  utility `ledctl` (part of ledmon package) is required for this

  functionality.



- Logging to file `/var/log/zfswatcher.log` and local syslog daemon is enabled

  by default.



- E-mail notifications are disabled by default.



- The embedded web server is disabled by default.



- If you change the default web interface templates, it is best to copy them

  from `/usr/share/zfswatcher/www` to another location and change the

  `templatedir` and `resourcedir` settings in the configuration accordingly.

  This way your local changes will not be overwritten if you upgrade the

  package at a later time.
