Website Monitoring dumping files in /tmp

Post by brudnick »

Nagios XI Version : 2014R1.0
2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 Installed from VM
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
Gnome is not installed

We just upgraded to XI 2014 and are having issues with our website monitoring. Any service for website monitoring we have is dumping an .html file or a wget file into our /tmp folder and is not removing them.

Are these services being created with one of our wizards? If so, which wizard are you using?

It appears it was from a custom plugin called check_website_response that I got from here: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... se/details

Once I disabled the checks on those services, it was nagios was no longer writing html and wget files to the /tmp folder. I have at least isolated the issue but would like to monitor website response time on my sites. Was i missing a feature in a NagiosXI wizards that allowed checking of website response time?

Check_http should do just that! It will also allow the inclusion of redirect time if you would like. The default website monitoring wizard, I believe, should allow you to set all of that, otherwise we can certainly help you craft a command that would better suite your needs.
