[Website] Forbidden words

[PepijnBosgoed]

Hi guys,

Since a few weeks I've been testing NagiosXI and it works great. However, we want to monitor websites because we are a webdesign company including our own hosting service. I know I can monitor websites on words that should be on the websites. But I want to monitor on words that should not be on the website, the so called forbidden words like: porn, sex or hacked. How can I monitor that with NagiosXI? Can I do that with the standard check_http or check_http_content or is there a plugin that I've missed in my search quest?

Thanks in advance!

Most of the check plugins check for expected content, however, you might want to check the nagios exchange (exchange.nagios.org) and see if someone has already written a plugin like this. If not, you would probably modify a copy of one of the existing plugins so that the state return warning and critical instead of OK when certain strings are found.

@ mguthrie: I've already checked exchange, nagiosplugins.org and nagios.org/download/plugins. But unfortunately I can´t found a plugin which can monitor on the forbidden words. I will try to adjust a normal check, but if anyone can help me by providing such a plugin, I would really appreciate it

Here's the pseudo code if you know anyone who's decent at scripting in a particular language.

$arg = <your url>

$contents = fetch text contents of ($url)

process $contents line by line

if there is a regular expression match from the following list (spam and swear words)

print "bad words found!"
exit(2)

else
print "all good"
exit(0)
