The plugin check_tl_health was developed with the aim of having a single tool for all aspects of monitoring of tape libraries.
Instead of installing a variety of plug-ins for monitoring of interfaces, hardware, slots, etc. and possibly more than one for each brand, with check_tl_health you need only one a single plugin.

- --community

The list is not complete. Some drives that are not listed here can possibly be monitored because they implement the same MIBs as supported models. Just try it .... (If a device is not recognized, i can extend the plugin. But not for free)
