Hi,

Is there any plugin which make nagios able to detect if a service (nginx, elasticsearch, postfix...) is currently running AND is doing his job? (so it hasn't crashed) ?
Currently, I use a separate bash script who take the http code of the service (with curl), and restart service if code output is wrong

Any ideas?

There are many scripts available on the Nagios Exchange that may do what you want them to. Here is an example script for nginx: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... pl/details.

You can find more by searching the exchange: http://exchange.nagios.org/.

Thanks, and let me know if that helps!

Hi,

Thanks, I finally managed to use the Nagios Haproxy Stats plugin to monitor services. (as the services states are already known by Haproxy, Nagios will only have to ask Haproxy and not to collect metrics itself)

I'm glad you got that working - do you have any questions, or is this thread good to close?
