check_website_speed

[Melingo]

hello,
i add a service that use the check_website_speed command '
i check the command on the nagios server (from the libexec folder) and it work great ,
on the new service i get always a null response .
what could be the problem ?

[lmiltchev]

Did you follow the steps outlined in this document while adding the service?

Run the command in the command line, logged in as nagios user, and show us the output.

Also, show the output of the following command:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/

[Melingo]

i checked again the command and i need to add "php" word
to the command at first .

But now i have another issue ,
i can't get performance graph for this command
it is possible and what should i do ?

Are you using this plugin?
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ed/details

If so, I made a modified version I believe should work (untested)..
You will have to unzip to install it

check_website_speed.zip

Hi everyone,

Sorry to jump onto your thread like this, but this isn't working for me.

I added the command via web interface;

Code: Select all

define command {
       command_name                             check_website_speed
       command_line                             php /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_website_speed.php "$ARG1$" $ARG2$ $ARG3$
}

And the service;

Code: Select all

define service {
        host_name                       hostname
        service_description             Google Website
        use                             generic-service
        display_name                    Google Website
        check_command                   check_website_speed!google.com!3!5!!!!!
        notifications_enabled           0
        register                        1
        }

Web interface shows OK, but status information;

Code: Select all

<?

Left clicking, the service shows the following;

Code: Select all

<?
/*

*/


$url = $argv[1];
$warning = $argv[2];
$error = $argv[3];

$url = preg_replace('/\\s*/','',$url);
$warning = preg_replace('/\\s*/','',$warning);
$error = preg_replace('/\\s*/','',$error);

function microtime_float()
{
list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime());
return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}

$time_start = microtime_float();
$bla = file_get_contents($url);
$time_end = microtime_float();
$time = $time_end - $time_start;

print "Response Time: $time ";

if ($time<$warning) {
print "OK

This is, I believe, the check_website_speed.php plugin information.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong please?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

EDIT: This shows website speed - Does it mean if the website is down it will come back with a critical error? Thanks

[scottwilkerson]

try updating the first line of /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_website_speed.php
to
<?php

Hi scottwilkerson,

Thank you, that worked perfectly.

Was just wondering, if I enter a totally random website address, it still comes back with a positive result (even though the website doesn't exist).

Does this mean the plugin command hasn't been correctly entered by me? Or is this expected?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Gary Shergill

[lmiltchev]

That's to be expected - this script is only "based on time".

Hi lmiltchev,

Thank you for the reply.
