Transitiv Nagios Plugins

This package contains several useful Nagios/Icinga plugins, complete with configuration files, PNP4Nagios templates and tests.

All plugins support being run by the Nagios embedded perl interpreter (EPN). This aids performance on large installations (see the relevant Nagios documentation for further info).

Requirements

• Perl (http://www.perl.org)
• Nagios::Plugin (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Nagios-Plugin/)
• Net::SNMP (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-SNMP/)
• LWP::UserAgent (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?LWP::UserAgent)

Plugins

SNMP

• check_cisco_fans.pl Checks the status of fans on Cisco devices supporting the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB.
• check_cisco_load.pl Checks the CPU load average against user defined thresholds on Cisco devices supporting the CISCO-PROCESS-MIB or the OLD-CISCO-CPU-MIB.
• check_cisco_memory.pl Checks the memory usage of the various memory pools on Cisco devices supporting the CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB.
• check_cisco_psu.pl Checks the status of power supply units on Cisco devices supporting the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB.
• check_cisco_temperatures.pl Checks the status of temperature sensors on Cisco devices supporting the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB.
• check_snmp_printer.pl Checks the status of a printer supporting the RFC1759 printer MIB (this should include pretty much all networkable printers with SNMP functionality).
• check_active_calls.pl Checks the number of active calls on devices supporting the DIAL-CONTROL-MIB.
• check_snmp_uptime.pl Checks the uptime of a device via SNMP (useful if a device has a habit of rebooting before Nagios can notice).
• check_cisco_pix_failover.pl Checks the status of a failover configuration on a Cisco PIX firewall.
• check_snmp_interface.pl Checks the status of a network interface via SNMP. 64 bit counters are supported in conjunction with SNMPv2. Performance data is returned for link speed and input/output octets.
• check_netscreen_load.pl Checks the CPU load on Netscreen (now Juniper) devices supporting the NETSCREEN-RESOURCE-MIB.
• check_netscreen_memory.pl Checks memory usage on Netscreen (now Juniper) devices supporting the NETSCREEN-RESOURCE-MIB.
• check_netscreen_sessions.pl Checks session usage on Netscreen (now Juniper) devices supporting the NETSCREEN-RESOURCE-MIB.

Other

• check_wordpress.pl Checks whether a WordPress website is running the latest available version by querying the WordPress API. The site must include a generator meta tag in order for the plugin to ascertain the currently installed version (this is the default in most themes).
• check_apcupsd_ups.pl Checks the status of a UPS using apcupsd. Alerts will also be generated if the load percentage on the UPS exceeds that specified by the warning and critical command line arguments. Performance data is returned for various attributes, including load, line voltage, battery charge, temperature, output voltage and battery voltage.
• check_linux_memory.pl A simple plugin that checks the amount of physical memory available to applications on a Linux system.

Installation

This package uses GNU autotools for configuration and installation.

If you have cloned the git repository then you will need to run autoreconf to generate the required files.

Run ./configure --help to see a list of available install options. The default locations for included files are as follows:

• Plugins are installed into LIBEXECDIR
• Nagios configuration files are installed into SYSCONFDIR
• PNP4Nagios templates are installed into DATAROOTDIR/pnp4nagios/templates if --with-pnp-templates is passed as an argument to the configure script. If your installation stores templates in a different directory you can append the path to the argument (see below).

It is highly likely that you will want to customise these locations to suit your needs, i.e.:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
	--libexecdir=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins
	--sysconfdir=/etc/nagios3/conf.d \
	--with-pnp-templates=/usr/local/share/pnp4nagios/templates

After ./configure has completed successfully run make install and you're done!

Note that it is recommended to run the tests before installing, see below for information.

Tests

Some basic plugin tests are included by default. Owing to the fact that most plugins involve communication with external hosts, it is extremely difficult to write a suite of tests that are both comprehensive and portable.

You can invoke the test suite by running make check.

Bugs

If you find a bug in any of the plugins please create an issue in the project bug tracker at https://github.com/transitiv/transitiv-nagios-plugins/issues.
