Fire Immediate Check from Command Line

[rajasegar]

NagiosXI 2014R1.2
RHEL 6.5

If there a way to trigger immediate check for a service from the command line?
Please advice how to go about this.

Thanks.

You'll want to look into writing to the command file:

http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/ext ... and_id=128
http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/ext ... and_id=129

SCHEDULE_FORCED_HOST_CHECK;<host_name>;<check_time>

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the SCHEDULE_FORCED_HOST_CHECK command
# to Nagios.  Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.

now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

/bin/printf "[%lu] SCHEDULE_FORCED_HOST_CHECK;host1;1110741500\n" $now > $commandfile

Why is 1110741500 hard coded in the script? Shouldn't this be the actual check time?

BTW, in RHEL 6.5 printf is in /usr/bin

Yeah, that was probably written a while ago. The example timestamp would need to be changed, as you can see at the top of that quoted code block:

/bin/printf "[%lu] SCHEDULE_FORCED_HOST_CHECK;host1;1110741500\n" $now > $commandfile

Will change to the following and test it out.
/usr/bin/printf "[%lu] SCHEDULE_FORCED_HOST_CHECK;host1;$now\n" $now > $commandfile

That looks right. Let us know how it works out for you.

One more question. Is there a way to execute reports from the script using wget etc?

I need the state history report in CSV in the nagios server for some processing.
Reports->State History

You can get the statehistory csv from the cli (but you will need an active session (or valid ticketid) to get it:

Code: Select all

curl "http://<ip>/nagiosxi/reports/statehistory.php?1&host=<hostname>&service=<optional service description>&search=&reportperiod=last24hours&startdate=&enddate=&hostgroup=&servicegroup=&statetype=hard&reporttimesubmitbutton=Update&manual_run=1&page=1&records=25&mode=csv&username=<nagios xi user>&ticket=<xi user ticket id>"

You will have to explore the different get parameters for yourself.

Thanks I will check this out.

Let us know how it turns out. We'll keep the thread open for a little bit in case you do have questions.
