| --help | Show help/usage |
* mandatory parameter
Usage:
./check_confixxlicense.sh -H hostname [-P port] -u user -p password [-d string] [-w warning] [-c critical]
Example 1 without thresholds:
./check_confixxlicense.sh -H confixx.example.com -u nagios -p secret
OK Confixx License still valid for 267 days
Example 2 with thresholds:
./check_confixxlicense.sh -H confixx.example.com -u nagios -p secret -w 365 -c 90
WARNING Confixx License will end in 267 days
Command definition without thresholds/optional parameters:
# 'check_confixxlicense' command definition
define command{
command_name check_confixxlicense
command_line $USER1$/check_confixxlicense -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$
}
In the following command definition, the optional parameters (including thresholds) are all stored in $ARG3$:
# 'check_confixxlicense' command definition
define command{
command_name check_confixxlicense
command_line $USER1$/check_confixxlicense -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ $ARG3$
}
object CheckCommand "check_confixxlicense" {
import "plugin-check-command"
command = [ PluginContribDir + "/check_confixxlicense.sh" ]
arguments = {
"-H" = {
value = "$confixx_host$"
}
"-P" = {
value = "$confixx_mysql_port$"
}
"-u" = {
value = "$confixx_mysql_user$"
}
"-p" = {
value = "$confixx_mysql_password$"
}
"-d" = {
value = "$confixx_mysql_database$"
}
"-w" = {
value = "$confixx_warning$"
}
"-c" = {
value = "$confixx_critical$"
}
}
vars.confixx_host = "$address$"
vars.confixx_mysql_port = "3306"
vars.confixx_database = "confixx"
vars.confixx_warning = "30"
vars.confixx_critical = "0"
}
In this example the plugin uses the command definition with thresholds as described above. It will connect to the SQL-Server using the database confixx with user nagios and password sqlpassword. The check will send a warning 10 days before end of license and a critical 5 days before end of license.
# Check Confixx License
define service{
use generic-service
host_name myconfixx
service_description Confixx License
check_command check_confixxlicense!nagios!sqlpassword!-d confixx -w 10 -c 5
}
In this example, the disk check happens on myexcluster.in.the.cloud and assumes a 50GB available disk space. There is authentication required to access the cluster statistics so here the login happens with user "read" and password "only".
# Check ElasticSearch Store
define service{
use generic-service
host_name myesnode
service_description ElasticSearch Disk Usage
check_command check_es_system!myescluster.in.the.cloud!50!disk!-u read -p only
}
# Check Confixx License
object Service "Confixx License" {
import "generic-service"
host_name = "myconfixx"
check_command = "check_confixxlicense"
vars.confixx_database = "confixx"
vars.confixx_mysql_user = "nagios"
vars.confixx_mysql_password = "secret"
vars.confixx_warning = "10"
vars.confixx_critical = "5"
}
