NAME
dhcpd-pools - ISC dhcpd pools usage analysis
SYNOPSIS
dhcpd-pools [options]
DESCRIPTION
The program analyses ISC dhcpd shared network and pool usage and outputs the results in a format selected
by user.
OUTPUT FIELDS
shared net name
Name of the shared-network for the range.
first ip
First IP in lease pool range.
last ip
Last IP in lease pool range.
max Number of IPs which exist in a pool, shared network or all together.
cur Number of leases currently in use.
percent
Percent of IPs currently in use compared to max.
touch Number of IP's which appear in the lease file, but who's leases have expired. A touched IP is
either expired or abandoned. The touched IP count is somewhat misleading when you try to
determine if an IP pool is big enough; it is a better indicator of whether a pool is too large.
t+c The sum of Touched and Currently in-use leases.
t+c perc
Percent of IPs either touched or currently in use, compared to max.
bu Failover pair can allocate these addresses. The count appears only if there is failover
configuration.
bu perc
Percent of addresses that failover pair can allocate. The percent appears only if there is
failover configuration.
OPTIONS
-c, --config=FILE
Path to the dhcpd.conf file. If the dhcpd.conf has include files they can be analysed separately,
that can be useful when trying to understand or monitor subset of data.
-l, --leases=FILE
Path to the dhcpd.leases file.
-s, --sort=[nimcptTe]
Sort ranges by chosen fields as a sorting keys. Keys weight from left to right, i.e., if more
weighting keys are equal next one is used. The IP field is default sort key.
-r, --reverse
Sort results in reverse order.
-f, --format=[thHcxXjJ]
Output format. Text (t). Full-html (H) page output. The (c) stands for comma-separated values.
Output format xml (x) is similar to the dhcpstatus Perl module output. The extended xml (X)
format will print ethernet address details. The (j) will output in json format, which can be
extended with (J) to include ethernet address.
The default format is text.
-o, --output=FILE
File where output is written. Default is stdout.
-L, --limit=NR
The NR will limit what will be printed. Syntax is similar to chmod(1) permission string. The NR
limit string uses two digits which vary between 0 to 7. The first digit determines which headers
to display, and the second digit determines which numeric analysis tables to include in the
output. The following values are "OR'd" together to create the desired output. The default is
77.
01 Print ranges
02 Print shared networks
04 Print total summary
10 Print range header
20 Print shared network header
40 Print total summary header
The output limit for total summary has special meaning in --warning and --critical alarming
context. When the alarming is in use, and total is not wanted to be seen then in the case of
alarming returning success nothing is printed.
--warning=percent
Turn on alarm output format, and specify percentage number which will cause an alarm. If either a
range or shared network will exceed warning level return value of the command is 1. If only range
monitoring is needed one can use limit option for scoping, for example -L10. To monitor shared
network only the limit would be -L20. If warning percentage is not specified it defaults to 80.
The percent argument allows fractions, e.g., 88.8, to be used.
--critical=percent
The option is similar to warning, with exception of return value which is 2. If critical
percentage is not specified it defaults to 90.
--warn-count=number
A number of free leases before alarm is raised. When specified both --warning percent and count
number are required to be exceeded in order to alarm criteria being fulfilled.
This option is intented to be used in setup where very large and small shared-networks and ranges
co-exists. In such environments percent based alarming can lead to either flood of alarms about
small ranges, or way too great overhead of free addresses in large shared-networks. Suggested
usage is to set percentage to a level that makes small ranges to ring, and set the count to match
level when an enormous shared-network is too few free leases.
Defaults to 2^32, that is size of entire IPv4 address space.
--crit-count=number
Same as --warn-count, but for critical alarms.
--snet-alarms
Suppress range alarms that are part of shared networks. Use of this option will keep alarm
criteria applied to ranges that are not part of shared-net along with shared-net alarms. This
option may help reducing alarm noise for configurations that has lots of small ranges in big
shared-networks.
--minsize=size
Ignore ranges and shared networks that are smaller or equal to the defined size. This option is
meaningful only in context of alarming, and will intented to supress for example single host
ranges. By default this option is not in use.
-v, --version
Print version information to standard output and exit successfully.
-h, --help
Print help to standard output and exit successfully.
EXAMPLES
Print ranges header, and analysis.
$ dhcpd-pools -L 11 -c dhcpd.conf -l dhcpd.leases
Ranges:
shared net name [...]
Print shared networks and totals, both headers and results
$ dhcpd-pools -L 66 -c dhcpd.conf -l dhcpd.leases shared net name
[...]
Alarming
$ dhcpd-pools -c dhcpd.conf -l dhcpd.leases --critical 80.1 --warning 75
CRITICAL: dhcpd-pools: Ranges; crit: 14 warn: 22 ok: 220 Shared nets; crit: 1 warn: 0 ok: 4
$ dhcpd-pools -c dhcpd.conf -l dhcpd.leases -L 22 --critical 70 --warning 50
[no-output]
Supress printing OK, and make alarm only to go off if shared networks exceed critial or warning
levels.
FILES
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
ISC dhcpd configuration file.
