Nagios Plugin for to check service statuses of linux - Ramesh - 2007-04-19
Hi All,
I need to check service statuses of linux from Nagios Monitoring tool.
Is there any plugin to check service statuses of linux?
I wrote one shell script for this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
host="$1"
service="$2"
t=`/etc/init.d/$service status`
if echo "$t" |grep -q running; then
echo "OK - $service service is running."
exit 0
else
echo "Critical - $service service is stopped."
exit 2
fiBut it is working from terminal. But it is not working from nagios. Actually for example `/etc/init.d/acpid status` is not executing when nagios calling.
how do I make it to execute correct? or Is there any way to get needed result?
Please help!

that isn't really what nagios is used for
look into puppet [/url][url=http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet]http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet

Well you can do this, what's stopping you is the shell that nagios is given.
cat /etc/password | grep nagios
as you can see its set to /bin/false
usermod --shell /bin/bash nagios
and you script will work as expected.
This is a security risk, but I'm not going to get into that. just wanted to let you know a workaround.

This is exactly what Nagios is used for
I will have a look at you script and send a replacement if you still need one.
