Check qts-uptime

Overview

Reports how long a QNAP appliance running QTS has been running since the last boot.

Important Notes:

  • See QNAP plugins for the monitoring account, the requirements and for testing without a QNAP appliance.

Data Collection:

  • Authenticates against the QTS API and fetches system information via /cgi-bin/management/manaRequest.cgi
  • Calculates uptime from the day, hour, minute, and second fields reported by QTS

Help

usage: qts-uptime [-h] [-V] [--always-ok] [--insecure] [--no-perfdata]
                  [--no-proxy] --password PASSWORD [--proxy PROXY]
                  [--timeout TIMEOUT] --url URL [--username USERNAME]

Reports how long a QNAP appliance running QTS has been running since the last
boot. The uptime is reported for trending and never alerts on its own.

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -V, --version        show program's version number and exit
  --always-ok          Always returns OK.
  --insecure           This option explicitly allows insecure SSL connections.
  --no-perfdata        Suppress the performance data section from the output.
                       The status message and the exit code are unaffected, so
                       alerting keeps working while trending data is dropped.
  --no-proxy           Do not use a proxy, not even one the environment names.
                       Overrides `--proxy`.
  --password PASSWORD  QTS API password.
  --proxy PROXY        Proxy to reach the target through. The scheme defaults
                       to `http` when omitted. Overrides the proxy the
                       environment names (`http_proxy`, `https_proxy`,
                       `all_proxy`) together with the exceptions it lists in
                       `no_proxy`, and is itself overridden by `--no-proxy`.
                       Without either parameter the environment applies.
                       Credentials belong into the environment variable rather
                       than here, because a command-line argument is visible
                       to every user on the host. Example:
                       `--proxy=http://proxy.example.com:3128`.
  --timeout TIMEOUT    Network timeout in seconds. Default: 6 (seconds)
  --url URL            QTS-based appliance URL. Example:
                       `--url=https://192.168.1.1:8080`.
  --username USERNAME  QTS API username. Default: admin
