Short tasks

1. copy the zfs_zrep_status*.mkp (see dist folder) to your Check_mk server into the /tmp folder.
2. mkp install /tmp/zfs_zrep_status*.mkp
3. Check if installation worked

root@monitoring01:/opt/omd# find . -name '*zfs_zrep_status*'
./sites/XXXX/local/share/check_mk/checks/zfs_zrep_status
./sites/XXXX/local/share/check_mk/checkman/zfs_zrep_status
./sites/XXXX/local/share/check_mk/web/plugins/wato/check_parameters_zfs_zrep_status.py
./sites/XXXX/local/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/zfs_zrep_status

4. Goto your Check_mk webinterface. Choose WATO -> Host & Service Parameters. Search for zrep.

On the Server which holds the ZREP initialzied ZFS datasets (NOT THE CHECK_MK SERVER!):

1. Copy the plugin script check_mk/agents/plugins/zfs_zrep_status into /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/
2. chmod 755 /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/zfs_zrep_status
3. Execute the script: /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/zfs_zrep_status. If everythings works the output should look like this

<<<zfs_zrep_status>>>
