Looking for plugins.

[Marc Powell]

These are all part of the standard plugins distribution. In fact, there
are several different mysql plugins in the contrib directory in addition
to the main check_mysql plugin. Same goes for POP3. I also see a
check_bgpstate.pl that may work for you.

As far as verifying services are working, most of all of the plugins you
mention support some type of expect string functionality to one degree
or another. I can personally vouch that check_http with either the -e or
the -s flag works great. I don't see why the others wouldn't work as
well. It even appears that the check_pop3.pl script in the contrib
directory even verifies that you can log in and doesn't just look for
the pop3 banner.

'./plugin_name --help' is your friend.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Looking for plugins.


I've got everything working properly but I'm looking for a couple of
plugins.  I'm looking for a way to check that BGP is working and also
MySQL.  I prefer to have something that actually verifies that the
services are working.

I've also been looking at the various options for smtp, http, pop,
etc...
has anyone used these to actually check if the services are working
rather
than just responding on the port?
