Tivoli Monitoring with Nagios-friendly TSMmonitor

Here is a cool little tool to babysit IBM’s Tivoli Storage Manager. Its features are pretty fly:

Supports multiples tsm servers (servername)

Can be used transparently as a nagios plugin

Alert notification mechanism (by e-mail)

Supports new values for ok/warning/critical status in command line

Bourne shell (sh) compliance

Easy to add news checks

Here are some more examples of its coolness:
