check_file_exists

Hi, Firstly, thanks for the script(s). BUT... I am getting the opposite results on the web console than I am from the command line eg: My check_file_exists file = #!/bin/sh # # Author : Diego Martin Gardella [dgardella@gmail.com] # Desc : Plugin to verify if a file exists # # v1.0: Initial version by (Diego Martin Gardella [dgardella@gmail.com]) # v1.1: Add negate support (Elan Ruusamäe ) # v1.2: Also check if file is folder (Simon Smit) PROGNAME=`basename $0` PROGPATH=`echo $0 | sed -e 's,[\/][^\/][^\/]*$,,'` . $PROGPATH/utils.sh usage() { echo "Usage: $PROGRAM [-n] [file] Options: -n, --negate negate the result " } state_name() { case "$STATE" in $STATE_OK) echo OK ;; $STATE_CRITICAL) echo CRITICAL ;; esac } exists() { $negate && STATE=$STATE_CRITICAL || STATE=$STATE_OK echo "$(state_name) - $1 EXISTS" } exists_dir() { $negate && STATE=$STATE_CRITICAL || STATE=$STATE_OK echo "$(state_name) - $1 EXISTS :: Directory" } not_exists() { $negate && STATE=$STATE_OK || STATE=$STATE_CRITICAL echo "$(state_name) - $1 Does NOT exist" } # parse command line args t=$(getopt -o n --long negate -n "$PROGNAME" -- "$@") [ $? != 0 ] && exit $? eval set -- "$t" negate=false while :; do case "$1" in -n|--negate) negate=true ;; --) shift break ;; *) echo >&2 "$PROGRAM: Internal error: [$1] not recognized!" exit 1 ;; esac shift done STATE=$STATE_UNKNOWN if [ "$1" = "" ]; then usage exit $STATE fi if [ -f "$1" ]; then exists "$1" elif [ -d "$1" ]; then exists_dir "$1" else not_exists "$1" fi exit $STATE ========== In my commands.cfg = # 'check_file_exists' command definition define command { command_name check_file_exists command_line $USER1$/check_file_exists $ARG1$ } ========== In my_server_name.cfg = define service{ use generic-service host_name my_server_name service_description Check Backup - Nagios check_command heck_file_exist!/root/backups/nagios/nagios.tar.gz } ========== When I run from the command line... [root@centos libexec]# ./check_file_exists /root/backups/nagios OK - /root/backups/nagios EXISTS :: Directory [root@centos libexec]# ./check_file_exists /root/backups/nagios/nagios.tar.gz OK - /root/backups/nagios/nagios.tar.gz EXISTS [root@centos libexec]# ./check_file_exists /root/backups/nagios/nagios.tar CRITICAL - /root/backups/nagios/nagios.tar Does NOT exist In the web console... Check Backup - Nagios | CRITICAL | 27-06-2018 14:22:37 | 0d 0h 0m 30s | 1/3 | CRITICAL - /root/backups/nagios/nagios.tar.gz Does NOT exist Any ideas as to why I would be getting the opposite result ?? Thanks

Hi I am new to NagiosXI and plugins in general so I want to know if I can use this plugin to monitor file creation on a windows 2008 server. I also have a question about how the commandline for the plugin are supposed to look? Thanks

hi i've loaded the existing code to git and added negate support via -n or --negate option. so released it as v1.1 here: https://github.com/pld-linux/monitoring-plugin-check_file_exists

Great script, but I needed a script to check if a file does not exist. On my Ubuntu server I want to check if the file /var/run/reboot-required does not exist and warn me if it does (to notify me the server needs a reboot). To check this I just had to switch the output statements of the script, which I saved as check_file_notexists. Hereby the altered code for check_file_notexists: #! /bin/bash # # Author : Diego Martin Gardella [dgardella@gmail.com] # Modified by Erling Ouweneel to switch OK and CRITICAL # # Desc : Plugin to verify if a file does not exist # # PROGNAME=`basename $0` PROGPATH=`echo $0 | sed -e 's,[\/][^\/][^\/]*$,,'` . $PROGPATH/utils.sh if [ "$1" = "" ] then echo -e " Use : $PROGNAME -- Ex : $PROGNAME /etc/hosts n " exit $STATE_UNKNOWN fi if [ -f $1 ] then echo "CRITICAL - $1 : EXISTS :: `head -3 $1`" # shows the first three lines of the file exit $STATE_CRITICAL else echo "OK : $1 Does NOT exists " exit $STATE_OK fi
