Check_Svn

Overview

Checks a Subversion (SVN) repository using the svn, http or https protocols.

It uses the svn command line client to fetch a directory listing from the subversion server. Use --verbose once to display the directory listing at the end of the status output on one line.

Takes various options including username, password, protocol, port, directory, verbosity, timeout limit and timing information on how long the test took. Follows Nagios coding standards with built in default timeouts, -vvv verbosity debugging for full dump output for troubleshooting etc.

Basic Usage:

check_svn -H server1
SVN OK: svn repository online - directory listing successful

check_svn -H server2
SVN CRITICAL: Error connecting to svn server - Can't connect to host 'server2': Connection refused


More Usage Examples

check_svn -H server2 --port=3690 --username=hari --password=somethingsecret --verbose
SVN OK: svn repository online - directory listing: dir1 dir2 dir3 file1 file2 file3...

./check_svn -H svn.collab.net --http --dir /repos/svn --timing
SVN OK: svn repository online - directory listing successful. Test completed in 2.712 seconds

./check_svn -H svn.collab.net --http --dir /repos/svn -v
SVN OK: svn repository online - directory listing: README branches/ developer-resources/ mk.xiv/ svn-logos/ tags/ trunk/


Options

There are several switches to control the test

Other

NOTE: Some people have had problems with the following message:
SVN CRITICAL: Error connecting to svn server - Can't open file '/root/.subversion/servers': Permission denied
This is a Nagios environment issue rather than a plugin issue. To fix it, set the HOME environment variable explicitly to the home directory of the nagios user in your commands configuration file:

command_line export HOME=/home/nagios && $USER1$/check_svn .......
