If you just want to check port 80 on the same hostname as the Observium device entry, it’s as simple as going to the probes page and adding a check_http probe to the device you want to check.

It gets slightly more complex if you want to check different hostnames/Ips/ports, because you need to override the default arguments.

Does anybody have a simple example how to perform a check_http? Just to see if the service is running?

Hi,

Anyone doing alerting on probes?

I can match the probes in my association but not alert based on:

Likely you don’t have the probes actually installed. They’re from the monitoring-plugins project. On Ubuntu you need the monitoring-plugins-* packages.

On Ubuntu 18.04 I have these packages :

ii monitoring-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2 all Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (metapackage)

ii monitoring-plugins-basic 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (basic)

ii monitoring-plugins-common 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Common files for plugins for nagios compatible monitoring

ii monitoring-plugins-standard 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (standard)

ii nagios-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2 all transitional dummy package (nagios-plugins to monitoring-plugins)

ii nagios-plugins-contrib 21.20170222 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems

by default Observium will expect to find the plugin files in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins, this should work for most distributions.

Thanks,

Adam.

Hello Adam

Thank you for your replay.

I though to have set it up correctly, but the status is always unknown.

The server is in the same lan as Observium, the web port 80 is running and reachable from Observium (wget), I made also a tcpdump host 10.61.0.58 just to be sure Observium is initialize a connection.

But I see no request to the server, so I was wondering if maybe I have to enable something in the global settings?

Thank you and your team for your effort to improve Observium!

This is not explicitely supported, but you can “cludge” this by adding check_http probes and forcing the probe to check the site you want it to check by using your own command line arguments.

You usually have to disable the default arguments for this.

ii nagios-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2 all transitional dummy package (nagios-plugins to monitoring-plugins)

ii nagios-plugins-contrib 21.20170222 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems

by default Observium will expect to find the plugin files in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins, this should work for most distributions.

Thanks,

Adam.

Hello Adam

Thank you for your replay.

I though to have set it up correctly, but the status is always unknown.

The server is in the same lan as Observium, the web port 80 is running and reachable from Observium (wget), I made also a tcpdump host 10.61.0.58 just to be sure Observium is initialize a connection.

But I see no request to the server, so I was wondering if maybe I have to enable something in the global settings?

Thank you and your team for your effort to improve Observium!

Regards

Walter

If you just want to check port 80 on the same hostname as the Observium device entry, it’s as simple as going to the probes page and adding a check_http probe to the device you want to check.

It gets slightly more complex if you want to check different hostnames/Ips/ports, because you need to override the default arguments.

Hello

Does anybody have a simple example how to perform a check_http? Just to see if the service is running?

Hi,

Anyone doing alerting on probes?

I can match the probes in my association but not alert based on:

Require Any

status_event eq warning

status_event eq alert

This is possible thanks to the probe : From my point of view, it will be nice to graph the reponse time of those checks ... Rds,

This is not explicitely supported, but you can “cludge” this by adding check_http probes and forcing the probe to check the site you want it to check by using your own command line arguments.

You usually have to disable the default arguments for this.

Likely you don’t have the probes actually installed. They’re from the monitoring-plugins project. On Ubuntu you need the monitoring-plugins-* packages.

On Ubuntu 18.04 I have these packages :

ii monitoring-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2 all Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (metapackage)

ii monitoring-plugins-basic 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (basic)

ii monitoring-plugins-common 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Common files for plugins for nagios compatible monitoring

ii monitoring-plugins-standard 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (standard)

ii nagios-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2 all transitional dummy package (nagios-plugins to monitoring-plugins)

ii nagios-plugins-contrib 21.20170222 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems

by default Observium will expect to find the plugin files in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins, this should work for most distributions.
