Check PIX Failover status.
This is similar to other plugins, however standby / active is treated as OK, but warns after a switch of status.
Run this against your primary unit IP address only; it will check both primary and standby units together.
Previous status is passed as a parameter to compare against:
define command{
command_name check_pixfailover
command_line $USER1$/check_pixfailover -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER3$ -P $SERVICEOUTPUT$
}
Sample output includes:
Standard result:
Failover OK: Primary:Active Secondary:Standby
First check after a switch:
Failover WARNING: Primary:Standby Secondary: Active
Subsequent checks:
Failover OK: Primary:Standby Secondary: Active
Any questions or suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

After some tinkering got this script to monitor my ASA5510 pair. Don't know whether this is proper or not but I had to change the script and command slightly:
*check_pixfailover.pl:
modify line: use lib '/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/';
*commands.cfg:
define command{
command_name check_pixfailover
command_line $USER1$/check_pixfailover.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C SNMPCommunity -P $SERVICEOUTPUT$
}
Not doing this would result in a CRITICAL (null) status or 127 error.
Using ASA 8.2.2 & Nagios 3.2.0.
