Wrong Current Working Directory
by moetteli, September 30, 2014
Hi,


Thanks for the script.
It was though only working on the CLI and not in Nagios, until I found out, that somehow there was the a wrong current working directory defined. So WGet tried to save into that non-writeable working directory and failed and the whole script returned state 'UNKNOWN'.
It was enough to just add

-P /tmp

to the wget call.

Problem
by Liberato, June 30, 2014
Hello,

My conf in commands.cfg is:

url
define command{
command_name check_website
command_line $USER1$/check_website.sh www.globo.com

The status in service detail of url nagios is:

UNKNOWN 06-11-2014 14:08:23 0d 0h 33m 15s 3/3 HTTP UNKNOWN: N/A - http://www.globo.com/

Do not know why the status is UNKNOWN. It should be OK as the other.

On the command line is ok:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_website.sh www.globo.com

HTTP OK: 234ms - http://www.globo.com/|time=234ms;500;2000;0;

Can you help me?

how it work
by ivani, June 30, 2014
Hello,

Can you help me. What I must write in section "define service"? If I write it:

check_command check_website! -P 203.146.82.253 -w 20000 -c 50000 www.name.com - it is work not correctly.

In the commands.cfg I wrote it:

command_line $USER1$/check_website.sh -P $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ $HOSTADDRESS$

If I try to run this script

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_website.sh -p 80 -u /index.html -P 203.146.82.253 -w 22000 -c 50000 www.name.com - all work!
Owner's Reply:

Hello Ivani,your proxy definition is missing the port number.

It works on the cli since you probably have a defined proxy environment value which is used in favor of the passed argument.

Try to use 203.146.82.253:3128 if that is your proxy ip and service port.

My script is lacking in argument checking. I'll have to fix that.
