This driver uses only /proc to monitor an LSI (megaraid) RAID array. It doesn't require any additional software to be installed. It does, however, require the megaraid2 Linux kernel driver.

This program must run with root privileges, even though it only opens /proc files in read-only mode. One option is to use sudo for the nagios/nrpe user to read from the proc filesystem. Another option is to use a suid C program like this one to wrap your script in.
