Team would like to know if anyone here had created a basic nagios plugin.
I did write a simple postfix service checker. Then add it in nagios nrpe.cfg then restart nrpe and nagios and it is not working, its like i cant receive email if the service is stopped or running.
I don't like the standard monitoring plugins for Nagios. After hours of checking out alternatives, I finally decided to develop some own alternatives (and spend days ;)).
The goal was to make system monitoring simple. (And not: getting as many details as possible.)
The plugins are written in... (1 Reply)
We have a dual Nagios server setup. One is setup for internal server monitoring on our LAN, while the second Nagios server is hosted externally and is used for external checks only such as URL and ping checks form the WAN side.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a Nagios plugin which monitors selected processes and if they die, restarts them.
Does anyone have such a plugin\script, or could anyone point me in the right direction?

check_backuppc(8) System Manager's Manual check_backuppc(8)NAME
check_backuppc - A Nagios plugin to monitor BackupPC
SYNOPSIS
check_backuppc [options]
DESCRIPTION
check_backuppc is a nagios plugin that reports on the status of BackupPC. By default, it monitors both archive and backup hosts for
errors.
OPTIONS -a, --archive-only
Only check the status of archive hosts.
-b, --backup-only
Only check the status of non-archive hosts.
-s, --status-only
Only check the status of the backups, omit connection failures that are less than $Conf{FullPeriod} old.
-H, --hostname hostname
Only check the specified host. Uses hostnames that BackupPC is configured to use, can be specified multiple times.
-x, --exclude hostname
Do not check the specified host. Uses hostnames that BackupPC is configured to use, can be specified multiple times.
-w, --warning age
The days old at which a failure is considered a warning, default 1.
-c, --critical age
The days old at which a failure is considered critical, default 8.
-r, --reduce count
The maximum number of failed hosts for which to reduce reported severity, default 0.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
NOTES
This plugin must be run on the same host and as the same user as BackupPC. An archive host only takes on a reported type of archive after
its first archive run.
EXAMPLES
/usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_backuppc -r1 -w3 -c8 -b -x otter
Check the status of all backup hosts except "otter". Warn if a failed backup is older than three days old, return critical if a
failure is older than eight days old unless there is only a single failure. In that case, warn if the single failed backup is older
than eight days.
