check_clamav plugin v1.2

Project Notes
This check plugin is a Perl script which compares your local signature database (daily.cvd) version to the version advertised from the ClamAV site. It verifies the latest ClamAV revision using a DNS TXT query against current.cvd.clamav.net. Examples: Normal execution: $ /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_clamav ClamAV CRITICAL: daily.cvd 1517 out of date by 3 revisions. Plugin supports a debug mode and adjustable variance thresholds: $ /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_clamav -w 3 -c 4 -v DEBUG: Found clamd at /usr/local/sbin/clamd DEBUG: Threshhold values: warning=3, critical=4 DEBUG: Removing extraneous quotes from returned TXT record (dig workaround.) DEBUG: Local daily.cvd dated Tue Jun 6 17:05:07 2006 DEBUG: Local daily.cvd version = 1517 DEBUG: Latest daily.cvd version = 1520 DEBUG: Installed daily.cvd is behind clamav.net ClamAV WARNING: daily.cvd 1517 out of date by 3 revisions. : **5/26/07 - update to v1.1** : check_clamav now uses Perl http://www.net-dns.org/ Net::DNS modules instead of relying on external programs for resolution. : **2/24/08 - update to v1.2** : Updated to run correctly with -w switch and ''use strict''. Thanks to Dennis Hoppe for catching missing variable declarations.

Added clamd version checking
by isy, February 28, 2014
Using this plugin more than a year - and it works very fine, thanks :-)

I was missing the clamd version checking - always had to wait for syslog-mess like "freshclam[2358]: DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq"

My Version:

diff /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_clamav ./check_clamav_1.2

28,31d27
hec_val = 0; # Default - override with --checkversion arg
109c104
$msg = "ClamAV " . $status_print . ": daily.cvd " . $sig_local .
114c109
$msg = "ClamAV OK: daily.cvd " . $sig_local . " (" . $sig_date .
123,124c118
$chec_val,
172,174d162
&print_debug("checking clamd program version");

($chec_val != 0) {

&print_debug("Installed clamd is behind clamav.net");
CAL status

Fedora porting
by PsichoD, August 31, 2012
Thank you for a nice plugin!

In order to make it work on Fedora 16/17, that has a clamd config file at "/etc/clamd.d/scan.conf", I had to add a new variable called "$clamd_config" and change line 167:

+ my $clamd_conf = "/etc/clamd.d/scan.conf";

- chomp(my $clamd_ver = `$clamd_cmd -V`);
+chomp(my $clamd_ver = `$clamd_cmd -V -c $clamd_conf`);

Works great!
