plugin for squid

[ABOKHALAF, Nassri Abdellatif]

Hello Tom,

Well, I've tried to use the check_http commmand for squid check-ups:

I wrote in checkcommands.cfg 

define command{
        command_name    check_squid
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$
        }


then in  services.cfg i wrote 

define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of service template to use

        host_name                       squid.myserver.com
        service_description             squid
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           10
        retry_check_interval            5
        contact_groups                  dsi
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_squid!8080!http://www.google.com
        }


what this command does is


./check_http -I my_squid_ip_addr -p 8080 -u http://www.google.com


the answer is :

HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 200 OK -   0.156 second response time |time=  0.156

but sometimes an error is returned (not happening now!)

is this testing correct ?


An other issue is https testing. We have a https server and i want to monitor it. I've tried using check_http with the following commnad line options:

/check_http -H webmail.mycompany.com 

the answer is :

HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied


therefore nagios returns a warning 

HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found 

by cosequence nagios send me a notification.

How can i test this service correctly?


Thank you in advance

naa

Two things:

1) You can use check_http to monitor squid.
2) It might be easier to help you out if you tell us what you already
tried, post some code and explain where you are stuck. With the info
you give us now, all we can do is pointing you to the docs.

Kind regards,
Tom
