Alerts on long uptime

[jamesc23]

Hi,

I'm looking for a plugin that will send alert on servers with specific uptime (days). Can anyone please direct me to the right place?

I'm new to Nagios.

Thanks.

check_uptime is one of the base plugins in the nagios-plugins package:

http://nagios-plugins.org/downloads/

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_uptime -w 12 -c 18 -u hours
Uptime CRITICAL: 0 day(s) 23 hour(s) 26 minute(s) | uptime=23.000000;12.000000;18.000000;

Are you monitoring Linux or Windows? For Linux, you can use "check_uptime":

Code: Select all

[root@testbox libexec]# ./check_uptime -u days -w 20 -c 40
Uptime WARNING: 36 day(s) 18 hour(s) 38 minute(s) | uptime=36.000000;20.000000;40.000000;
[root@testbox libexec]# ./check_uptime -u days -w 20 -c 30
Uptime CRITICAL: 36 day(s) 18 hour(s) 38 minute(s) | uptime=36.000000;20.000000;30.000000;

This way, you will be alerted if the number of days exceeds the warning or critical thresholds. If you want to be alerted if the number is less than the thresholds, you could use the plugin this way:

Code: Select all

[root@testbox libexec]# ./check_uptime -u days -w 40: -c 20:
Uptime WARNING: 36 day(s) 18 hour(s) 41 minute(s) | uptime=36.000000;0.000000;0.000000;
[root@testbox libexec]# ./check_uptime -u days -w 40: -c 50:
Uptime CRITICAL: 36 day(s) 18 hour(s) 40 minute(s) | uptime=36.000000;0.000000;0.000000;
