check-drupal

Project Notes

# Features:
------------
* Check for Drupal security updates
* Check for Drupal system updates
* Check for Drupal required database updates
* Check for Drupal core errors
* Check for Drupal core warnings
* Every check can specify its own nagios severity (Error or Warning)
* Custom name for nagios short output
* Detailed information in nagios long output
* Be able to successfully recognize valid Drupal6 or Drupal7 document root
* Basic performance data fow: how many OKs, Errors, Warnings and Unknowns

# This check can be used in two ways:
---------------------------------------
1. Let nagios always trigger check_drupal which might take 1-3 seconds and cause some load
2. Let nagios simply parse the logfile (with check_drupal_log) created by check_drupal via cron on the target machine.
I would recommend the second option as you do not check each drupal site every 5 minutes and also in order to keep the nagios check as fast as possible. For that use cron to trigger the check_drupal on the target machine every 6 hours or so

# Included scripts:
