Script written in Python to check Apache2's server-status page with warning/critical threshold for req/sec
Description

check_apache2.py is a Python port of my sh compliant script check_apache2.sh, providing less features at the moment. It's main use for me is to get in touch with Python, but you might find it useful.
You're able to set a hostname, a port and to define warning/critical thresholds for requests per second. More features will be integrated within the next days when I find the time to do further work on the script.
Version

Version 1.0, 2009, Mike Adolphs (http://www.matejunkie.com/)
-h/--help Output

./check_apache2.py -h
Usage: check_apache2.py -H HOSTNAME -p PORT [-w] [-c]

Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-H HOSTNAME, --hostname=HOSTNAME
You may define a hostname with the -H option.
Default is: localhost.
-p PORT, --port=PORT
You may define a port with the -p option.
Default is: 80.

Warning/critical thresholds:
Use these options to set warning/critical thresholds
for requests per second served by your Apache.

-w WARNING, --warning=WARNING
Use this option if you want to use warning/critical

1. Make sure to set a critical value as
2. Default is: -1.

-c CRITICAL, --critical=CRITICAL
Use this option if you want to use warning/critical

Output example

user@host $ ./check_apache2.py --version
check_apache2.py 1.0
user@host $ ./check_apache2.py -H localhost -p 7001
OK: Apache serves 9.093710 requests per second. 1 busy workers, 49 idle workers.
user@host $ ./check_apache2.py -H localhost -p 7001 -w 2 -c 5
CRITICAL: Apache serves 9.082950 requests per second, exceeding critical threshold! 1 busy workers, 49 idle workers.
user@host $ ./check_apache2.py -H localhost -p 7001 -w 2 -c 10
WARNING: Apache serves 9.077650 requests per second, exceeding warning threshold! 1 busy workers, 49 idle workers.
user@host $ ./check_apache2.py -H localhost -p 7001 -w 10 -c 20
OK: Apache serves 9.073430 requests per second. 1 busy workers, 49 idle workers.
user@host $ ./check_apache2.py -H localhost -p 7001 -w 10 -c 5
UNKNOWN: When using thresholds the critical value has to be higher than the warning value. Please adjust your thresholds.
user@host $ ./check_apache2.py -H localhost -p 7001 -w 5
UNKNOWN: Please also set a critical value when using warning/critical thresholds!
user@host $ ./check_apache2.py -H localhost -p 7001 -c 5
UNKNOWN: Please also set a warning value when using warning/critical thresholds!
user@host $ ./check_apache2.py -H localhost -p 7002
CRITICAL: Couldn't fetch the server's status page. Please check given hostname, port or Apache's configuration. We might not be allowed to access server-status due to your server's configuration.

But did not really do what I wanted: check for minimum idle workers. I want to know they are not all busy. So I added an option to check that and extended this script. It is downloadable from my github repo for plugins: https://github.com/anordby/plugins/blob/master/nagios/check_apache2.py
Optimization: No tmp file needed
In retrieve_status_page() function change this: retrPage = urllib.urlretrieve(statusPage, '/tmp/server-status.log')
to this one: return urllib.urlopen(statusPage)

and modidy parse_status_page() function to parse_status_page(data):
# file = open('/tmp/server-status.log', 'r')
line = data.readline()
...
line = data.readline()

and finally in the main function add this line:
resParse = parse_status_page(retrieve_status_page())
so comment this lines:
#retrieve_status_page()
#resParse = parse_status_page()

Or you can see it:

Does exactly what it says on the tin, does a couple of things very well.

My only gripe would be that if a box doesn't allow the plugin to talk to the server-status page, it should give a nice error, not the Python traceback you get at the moment.

Otherwise, very very happy. Thanks for this.

I had this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./check_apache2.py", line 189, in ?
result = transform_dict(resParse)
File "./check_apache2.py", line 169, in transform_dict
totalAcc = int(resParse['totalAcc'].strip(" Total Accesses:"))
KeyError: 'totalAcc'
