Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I was hoping to receive some help (I am sure it's gotta be a custom plugin, but I don't have any experience with programming).

I am trying to create a check that will do the following:

Using curl, retrieve the latest token ID. Once this token ID is retrieved, I would need to use something like sed to extract only the token ID itself from the curl command and insert this Token ID a check http with it checking the string.


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Without knowing your exact situation, nagios exchange is likely your best option to find something that will work. One such option might be:

check_curl_authenticate

Otherwise you certainly could script that out and call check_http from within another script. Should not be too terrible to do.
