check_filemaker

#What: Nagios check_filemaker.php plugin #Intended For: Filemaker developers who want to monitor their clients' databases using Nagios. #Required: php cli with cURL extension. Filemaker API (included),FM Web Publishing configured correctly. #Quick Description: This script uses the FileMaker PHP API to run a listLayouts() query a server database. #Why?: Sometimes a check_ping or check_service doesn't tell you enough. If your FM Database Server gets hosed and people cannot connect to the databases these checks will never notify you. #Detailed Description: Uses a provided Database, Hostname, Username, and Password as arguments. They then get passed to the PHP command line as "php check_filemaker.php -d $ARG1$ -h HOSTNAME -u $USER2$ -p $USER3". The best way to implement this script is to have a generic username and password. 1. EDIT: /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg (add them here so the whole world doesn't see them) ADD: macros for username and password ($USER1$ is already used for libexec path) $USER2$=HiMyNameIs $USER3$=SecretWord ***read the resource.cfg file and dont be an idiot and try to change the macros to something else. 2. EDIT:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg ADD: check_command # 'check_filemaker' command definition define command { command_name check_filemaker command_line $USER1$/check_filemaker.php -d $ARG1$ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $USER2$ -p $USER3$ } 3. EDIT: your host definition config file ADD: service definition #'check_filemaker service' define service{ use generic-service host_name clients-fmserver service_description FileMaker DB Connection check_command check_filemaker!DataBase } ***Obviously change DataBase to whatever your database name is that your connecting to. 4. tar zxvf check_filemaker.tar.gz to /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ directory change ownership of files to nagios user chown nagios:nagios /user/local/nagios/libexec/check_filemaker.php FileMaker.php chown -R nagios:nagios /user/local/libexec/FileMaker make check_filemaker.php executable chmod 744 /user/local/nagios/libexec/check_filemaker.php */
