check_jboss_status

Project Notes

I didn't like the Jboss checks that I've found which require Java or remote-run, so I wrote this. It's a simple check that looks at memory usage and busy threads. I did this with percentage thresholds to make it dynamic.

Usage: check_jboss_status.pl [-H <host>] [-P <port>] [-t <crit%,warn%>]
[-m <crit%,warn%>] [-a <port1,port2,...,portn>]
[-h <port1,port2,...,portn>]
-H <host> The host to connect to (default: localhost)
-P <port> The port to connect to (default: 8080)
-a <port1,port2,...,portn> The AJP ports to check for (default: 8009)
-h <port1,port2,...,portn> The HTTP ports to check for (default: 8080,8443)
-t <crit%,warn%> The percentage of threads busy for warning
(default: 80,50)
-m <crit%,warn%> The percentage of memory used for warning
(default: 80,50)

Example:
check_jboss_status.pl -H jboss.example.com -P 8080 -t 90,75 -m 75,50 -a 8009 -h
8080,8443
This will check the host "jboss.example.com" on port "8080" and
issue a warning at 75% thread busy or a critical alert at 90% thread
usage, or a warning at 50% or critical at 75% JVM memory usage checking.
for AJP port 8009 and HTTP ports 8080 and 8443.
