check_rrd_data.pl

I have found this check plugin for my project, it requires for RRD::File, so I found the module and install it, now the problem is everytime I provide a RRD file, it said can’t locate head file, not sure where went wrong, can anyone give me a hand on this.

Thanks a lot

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

#check_rrd_data plugin for nagios

usage:

check_rrd machine_id perlexp_warn perlexp_crit perlexp_default [ds]

Checks data from a RRD file. machine_id is normally an IP address, that has

to be mapped to a RRD file, by means of the config file (by default

/var/spool/nagios/rrd-files, a file with pairs of (machine_id,rrd_file),

separated by whitespace). It can be a RRD file, too.

The Perl expressions are expressions to be evaluated in the following cases:

- perlexp_crit. The first one, to check if there is a critical situation. If

it returns other than “”, it will be a critical message.

- perlexp_warn. The second one to be evaluated. If returns other than “”, a

warning will be issued to Nagios.

- perlexp_default. If both of the above return “”, it will be evaluated, and

wathever returns this expression will be returned by the script. NOTE that

this is different from the other two cases, to allow the user issue a

warning or critical failure even if the other two don’t return it.

Use these hosts.cfg entries as examples

command[check_ping]=$USER1$/check_rrd_data.pl $HOSTADDRESS$ \

‘return “CHECK_CRICKET_PING: Warning\n” if ($value > 10);’ 'return \

“CHECK_CRICKET_PING: Critical\n” if ($value > 100);’ 'printf \

“PING OK - RTA = %.2fms\n”, $value; return 0;’ 1

Doesn’t work! Why?

BEGIN {

    # my $runtimedir = substr($0,0,rinde:evil:$0,'/'));
    # require "$runtimedir/utils.pm";

}

require ‘/usr/local/nagios/libexec/utils.pm’;
use RRD::File;
#use strict; # RRD:File and utils.pm don’t like this

#my $configfilepath = “/var/spool/nagios/rrd-files”; # Change if needed
#my $configfilepath = “/var/www/html/cacti/nagios.txt”; # Change if needed
my %hostfile; # For storing config
my $rrdfile; # RRD file to open

$ENV{‘PATH’} = “/bin:/usr/bin”;
$ENV{‘ENV’} = “”;

if (scalar @ARGV != 4 && scalar @ARGV != 5) {
print STDERR join “’ '”, @ARGV, “\n”;
my $foo = ‘check_rrd_data’;
print STDERR $foo, " <file.rrd> <perl_exp_warn> <perl_exp_crit>
<perl_exp_default> ]\n\n";
print STDERR “<perl_exp_*> is an expression that gets evaluated with $_ at the
current\n”;
print STDERR “value of the data source. If it returns something other than “”,
there\n”;
print STDERR “will be a warning or a critical failure. Else, the expression\n”;
print STDERR “<perl_exp_default> will be evaluated\n”;
exit;
}

Check configuration file

#open F, $configfilepath or do {

print “Can’t open config file $configfilepath\n”;

return $ERRORS{‘UNKNOWN’};

#};
#while () {

next unless /(.+)\s+(.+)/;

$hostfile{$1} = $2;

#}
#close F;

Default

my $ds = defined $ARGV[4]?$ARGV[4]:0;
# print "$ds = " . $ds . “:”;
# print "$ARGV[4] = " . $ARGV[4] . “:”;
$ds =~ s/$//g; # Sometimes Nagios gives 1$ as the last parameter

the only problem I am having is that I am not sure what should be passed in “RRD::File()”, anyone can give me a hand on this. thanks
