Plug-In check_apache_status, traffic

[A.Cormack]

Hi All,

Recently after help from you guys I installed a series of plug-ins on to my Nagios system. One of these plug-ins was "check_apache_status". I used two features of this plug-in "apache requests and "traffic", they both worked great and were fully functional.

However, after booting my devices up today the "traffic" feature of this plug-in appears to have stopped working yet, the "Apache Requests" continues to work.

Code: Select all

APACHE UNKNOWN: traffic is

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why this may be?

Thank You

Code: Select all

Nagios Version: 2912R1.6
Plug-in: check_apache_status
Command: $USER1$/check_apache_status -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v traffic $ARG1$
$ARG1$: -w 5.0 -c 8.0

What happens when you run the check from the cli?

Code: Select all

./check_apache_status -H <host ip> -v traffic -w 5.0 -c 8.0

How about running it without the "-v ...."

Code: Select all

./check_apache_status -H <host ip>

If you go to the server status page on the apache server, does it provide traffic information? It could be that the server is not providing said information since the output from the script is fairly direct and is not erroring.

I'm really confused as it was working fine the other day :/

Do a running tail on your remote host's apache log and then try to run the plugin once again. Post the tail here:

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

(depending the remote host's distro, the location of your apache logs may be different)

Im running Apache on a windows server. So i think im right in saying I need to find the windows format of that command?

You should find the error logs for apache on the windows box in the base apache install directory. You will see a folder named "logs". Check there.

Sorry, yes I've already done that. For some reason I thought what you were asking was more complicated.

The error log's dont point out anything wrong. Just the server shutting down and starting up again.

I had a quick look at the access.logs and it does look like the Nagios server is attempting to get data

Code: Select all

192.168.19.134 - - [06/Mar/2013:20:15:09] "GET /server-status HTTP/1.1" 200 4251

192.168.19.134 is the nagios server
