GPSD is a daemon that can be used to monitor GPS devices.

Installation

  1. Download the script onto the desired host.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/librenms/librenms-agent/master/snmp/gpsd -O /etc/snmp/gpsd
  1. Make the script executable
chmod +x /etc/snmp/gpsd
  1. Edit your snmpd.conf file (usually /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf) and add:
extend gpsd /etc/snmp/gpsd
  1. Restart snmpd on your host

The application should be auto-discovered as described at the top of the page. If it is not, please follow the steps set out under SNMP Extend heading at the top of the page.

Install the agent on this device if it isn't already and copy the gpsd script to /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/

You may need to configure $server or $port.
