Hi,
Is there a way to monitor localhost URLs. I want to monitor
http://localhost:51011/api/status. How do I set it up?
Its a Windows host machine and we are using nsclient++
Regards

You should be able to add a plugin to the windows nsclient host, define the command in the nsclient.ini, and then call the plugin and pass in the URL and it should do it.
What specifically are you trying to monitor at that web address, just that it's up? Or some specific content? What specifically?
I found this that may work for you:

Basically, the host machine where that URL is set in such a way, it can only be accessed at localhost, not as a public endpoint. In which case, I would have used check_http.
So, from the host machine, if I hit
http://myhost.local:51011/api/status or
http://localhost:51011/api/status, it gives me output as:
Code: Select all
{"status":"Started","startTime":"2021-03-26T08:34:50.873063Z","appserverURL":"AppServer://myhost.local:5162/TEST_WC","scalingInterval":1000,"cleanupInterval":10000,"stateServerPortRangeStart":58100,"stateServerMaxInstances":40,"stateServerMinInstances":30,"stateServerPrestartedInstances":30,"stateServerPrestartRampUp":1,"stateServerEnablePrestart":false,"stateServerTenant":"Test-Host","stateServerStartupTimeout":1800000}
What I am trying to achieve with this check is a regex search for keyword "Started". If found, all OK.

Hi,
Hope you are having a good day!!
What happens if you run "check_http" from your XI command prompt:
(NOTE: x.x.x.x is your remote windows IP address)
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H x.x.x.x -p 51011 -u '/api/status' -U -v
If the above does not work, then I would suggest that you write a powershell script and call its from your XI machine.
Best Regards,
Vinh

When I run the command you mentioned, this is what I get:
Code: Select all
[nagios@NagiosXIAzDev ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H 10.179.3.25 -p 51011 -u '/api/status' -U -v
connect to address 10.179.3.25 and port 51011: Connection refused
HTTP CRITICAL - Unable to open TCP socket
The output from the remote server is:
Code: Select all
{"status":"Started","startTime":"2021-04-30T08:28:54.4085873Z","appserverURL":"AppServer://APPSRVURL","scalingInterval":500,"cleanupInterval":10000,"stateServerEnablePrestart":false,"stateServerTenant":"Live","stateServerStartupTimeout":1800000}
And from there I want to do a regex for "Started" and "scalingInterval". If found, Nagios will say OK, else CRITICAL.
On the Powershell side, I can write something like this and it gives me the JSON output:
Code: Select all
PS C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts> (Invoke-WebRequest http://APPSRVURL:51010/api/status).Content
{"status":"Started","startTime":"2021-04-30T08:28:54.4085873Z","appserverURL":"AppServer://APPSRVURL","scalingInterval":500,"cleanupInterval":10000,"stateServerEnablePrestart":false,"stateServerTenant":"Live","stateServerStartupTimeout":1800000}
But how do I make Nagios talk and capture that PowerShell output and give me an OK/CRITICAL state?

Hi,
First, let see if you can "ping" the remote host from your XI machine.
Please open a command prompt from your XI machine (please update outputs or screenshots):
If you are able to "ping 10.179.3.25", then run the below command and see if port "51011" open from your XI to your remote machine:
(please post outputs or screenshots)
Also, please upload the "profile.zip":
Admin > System Config > System Profile > "Download profile"
Best Regards,

Hi,
See if you can talk to your network admin to open port "51011".
Can you try this on your XI command prompt? .... (NOTE: x.x.x.x is the remote windows IP address)
Code: Select all
curl -k -L -vvv "http://x.x.x.x:51011/api/status"
Using "check_http" is the easiest if you can get port "51011" open.

Vinh
