Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am writing to request your comments on
1 A plugin to check that the number of open TCP connections is less than
a threshold.
This plugin is inspired by the Orcallator monitor of 'Number of Open TCP
connections' and made essential by my employers famous name application
server (name withheld since this is a family program) dieing early one
morning when the hosts limit was breached.
It is
. implemented in Perl
. not portable (basically its a Netstat filter that needs to know the
Netstat format of the host)
. easy to hack because it is so-so thin
Here is the sample output (Sol version).
[asterix]/usr/home/nagios$ perl/check_open_connections
Ok. Number of open TCP connections (362) less than threshold. Top
connectors: 10.0.100.201 108, 10.0.100.65 49, 192.168.101.210 27,
192.168.102.210 24, 192.168.103.210 22.

2 A new SLA attribute to the template configuration.
The SLA attribute would have values like those of the check period or
notification period (eg 24x7, workhours etc) or plain percentages (eg
<grin>99.99</grin>)
It is for add-on projects to be able to compute SLA conformance by
comparing the Nag measured availability with that required by the SLA.
Computing SLA conformance then becomes
1 either compare the OK% (from the Nag avail.cgi) with the percentage
value Or
2 the much more challenging one (that is probably optional or best left
for later) for SLAs phrased like 'workhours',
Modify avail.cgi to check if outage intervals lie inside an SLA period
and compute the SLA appropriately.
In the latter case, the SLA attribute may have to contain more data like
'99.5% of workhours'.
Yours sincerely.

continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
