Project Notes
This plugin can check almost every aspect of oracle database, written in java for portability. Compiled with JDK 1.5.0_06 Uses JSAP command line parser http://www.martiansoftware.com/jsap/ to compile : copy DbCheck.java JSAP-2.0a.jar in a directory, expand JSAP-2.0a.jar in the same directory using command jar xvf JSAP-2.0a.jar Use : javac -cp .:com/martiansoftware/jsap/JSAP.* DbCheck.java this should generate DbCheck.class file Setup Nagios Environment: Copy DbCheck.class, check_db to /usr/local/nagios/libexec create /usr/local/nagios/libexec/lib directory Copy JSAP-2.0a.jar, classes12.jar (Take from $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib), sql files to /usr/local/nagios/libexec/lib directory Nagios plugin to check output of a sql query, matched with a regular expression. Currently supports numeric data checks only. --help Print help message -H Hostname/ip address of database server. -p Listener port, default is 1521. (default: 1521) -s Oracle database SID. -l Oracle database user to connect. -x Oracle database user password. -f Full path of sql file to be executed. -r PERL style Regular Expression to match in SQL output. Check value must be enclosed between (), should match only one field and must be enclosed between single quotes. Example 'SYSTEM.*,.*,(.*)' -w Warning value for matched expression. Normally warning < critical value. If your check want to alert when result < warning , set critical less than warning -c Critical value for matched expression. Should be more than Warning 1. If not check behaviour is reversed, see warning help text above. -L Label for matched regex value i.e FieldName. Usage: DbCheck --help -H -p -s -l -x -f -r -w -c -L

Works with many changes, but no documentation
by Howard, March 31, 2012

Unlike the other reviewer (who apparently didn't read what little documentation there is since he/she tried to run a .java file at the command line which is nowhere suggested in the notes), I got this to work (kinda). In later relases, you normally connect to an Oracle environment with a service_name, not a SID, so the old host:port:sid format no longer works. You need to pass host:port/service_name. I changed the .java file from the : to a /, recompiled, and I could conenct. However, the JSA file downloaded is a zip, not a jar, so that doesn't work, either. Easily fixed, but confusing if you aren't aware. I also still don't know what the regular expression is supposed to do. Also, the .sql file you run shouldn't be terminated with a semicolon, as you may be used to in oracle. The string is executed by JDBC dynamically, so you just pass "select blah from table", not "select blah from table;" Lastly, the plugin must be protected (they all shoudl be, admittedly), as the SQL is just run "as is". At least it requires a query, so you can't accidentally run "truncate table big_table" :) It just needs about two hours of work to take it over the goal line. Below is where I ended up after all the changes I mentioned above...
