Icinga Check Scripts
====================

Various check scripts for use in icinga.

All scripts support option `--help`, so call `./scriptname --help` for
more information.


load_per_cpu.sh
---------------

Icinga plugin to check load average per CPU. Shows 1min, 5min 15min
average per CPU. Different to check_load, the load is divided by the
number of CPU units and therefore normalized. So the same warning and
critical levels fit for any server.

mountpoint.sh
-------------

Icinga plugin to check whether a given path is available. Detects
problems, e.g. with glusterfs: In case of a problem, there is an error
message such as "socket not connected". Called with path to check.

Installation
============

Install
-------

Checkout to a path, e.g. `/opt/icinga-checks`:

    cd /opt
    sudo git co https://mrw.sh/admin-scripts/icinga-checks.git

Update
------

    cd /opt/icinga-checks

Configure
---------

Go to [Icinga Director](https://mrw.sh/docker/icingaweb2), in `Commands` add one:
 - Command type: `Plugin Check Command`
 - Command name: `load per cpu`
 - Command: `check_by_ssh`

After adding the command, add the following parameters:

    -C /opt/icinga-checks/load_per_cpu.sh
    -H $host.name$
    -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no

The last argument `-oStrictHostKeyChecking=no` is a key only ith no value.

To check mountpoint of `/var/volumes` use argument name `-C` with value `/opt/icinga-checks/mountpount.sh /var/volumes`.

Then create a new Service Template, give it a name. e.g. `load per cpu` and assign the check command just created.

Finally add a service, again you can use the same name and import the template just created, then assign the hosts to check. I use a host template for all linux servers, so the command is run in each of them.

Don't forget to deploy the activity log in Icinga Director.
