check_jabber

[Paulus, Jake]

Check_jabber is really just check_tcp in disguise (same way check_udp
is...do file check_jabber to see what I mean.) If your jabber server
sends back a string that doesn't match what is expected (as is happening
here) then you're going to get a warning. Given the output below, you
should be OK using:

./check_tcp -H sheldrick.co.uk -p 5222 -s "<stream:stream to='host'
xmlns='jabber:client' xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams'>"
-e "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><stream:stream
xmlns:stream=\"http://etherx.jabber.org/streams\"
xmlns=\"jabber:client\"" -w 3 -c 5

I tested this (hope you don't mind) and got this response from your
server:

TCP OK - 0.329 second response time on port 5222 [<?xml version='1.0'
encoding='UTF-8'?><stream:stream
xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams" xmlns="jabber:client"
from="sheldrick.co.uk" id="999b48cc"
xml:lang="en">]|time=0.328587s;3.000000;5.000000;0.000000;10.000000

You may wish to adjust warning and critical thresholds to your liking.

Thanks, -Jake

Well, yeah -- based on the message, the string it's trying to match
against isn't what your server sends.

Unless that's configurable, it's never going to work without some
recoding.
