Icinga check via snmp exit code
I recently migrated from Nagios to Icinga. One of the custom scripts that was working fine in Nagios it doesn't seem to get the proper alert in Icinga. Even if there is a CRITICAL alert the check stays green/OK.

Automatic container snapshots? cv4pve or zfs for a small homelab?
From my research, I can see two options: - Proxmox specific cv4pve-autosnap - generic zfs-auto-snapshot, available in repos

Some Proxmox Backup, Snapshot and Storage questions
Since Proxmox natively supports ZFS, you could that to make your snapshots. You can do automatic snapshots with zfs-auto-snapshot or for VMs with cv4pve-autosnap.

zfs hourly snapshot - snapshot naming interpretation needed
If you're using zfs-auto-snapshot (and it looks like you are), note that the timestamps are always in UTC, not your local timezone. Is your timezone somewhere around UTC-12:00?

Maybe a very uncommon use for sanoid: setup for snapshots 2 daily
zfs-auto-snapshot is as simple as it comes. It has cron jobs that show you how to take periodic snapshots. It cleans up its old versions.

Snapshots and replication with zfs hold and zfs release
Another option to look at (again, 3rd part stuff, not vanilla zfs hold/release stuff) is zfs-auto-snapshot which takes (and retains) n snapshots based on how you run it. See: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs-auto-snapshot
What are some alternatives?
When comparing check_zpools and zfs-auto-snapshot you can also consider the following projects:
sanoid - These are policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools which use OpenZFS for underlying next-gen storage. (Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable.)
zfs_autobackup - ZFS autobackup is used to periodicly backup ZFS filesystems to other locations. Easy to use and very reliable.
zfsbud - ZFS snapshotting, replicating & backup rotating convenience bash script
zfsnap - A portable, performant script to make rolling ZFS snapshots easy. (https://github.com/zfsnap/zfsnap/issues/109)
znapzend - zfs backup with remote capabilities and mbuffer integration.
zfs - OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD
zfs-scripts
backup-utils - GitHub Enterprise Backup Utilities
libyazzy-preload - LD_PRELOAD-able libraries
gitlab-mirrors - A set of scripts adding the ability of managing remote mirrors to GitLab.
zfsbootmenu - ZFS Bootloader for root-on-ZFS systems with support for snapshots and native full disk encryption
cv4pve-autosnap - Automatic snapshot tool for Proxmox VE
