check_vhosts.pl

Project Notes

check_vhosts.pl checks all virtual hosts of an running Apache2 instance.

This plugin depends on sshpass (for Debian: apt-get install sshpass) and ssh (for Debian: apt-get install ssh).

If you have the following problems:
– “Service check did not exit properly”: make sure you are not running plugin with nagios embedded perl interpreter (to be sure: command_line /usr/bin/perl $USER1$/check_vhosts.pl …);
– “Service Check Timed Out”: make sure your server is in nagios .ssh/known_hosts file. To be sure of that connect to your web server (su – nagios -c “ssh root@server”. In most cases nagios can’t connect to a shell, so you should check if nagios have /bin/bash parameter instead of /bin/false in /etc/passwd) with ssh and type yes to add it. This issue is corrected version 1.2 but warning, it automatically adds hosts to known_hosts file.

NB: not tested with Nagios 1.x & 2.x
