NAME
check_apache - Nagios plugin to poll Apache mod_status information
DESCRIPTION
This script acts as a plugin module for the Nagios IT infrastructure
monitoring system. It polls an Apache HTTPD server for status
information through mod_status, parses for the requested value, compares
that value against warning and critical levels, and responds with a
status string and appropriate exit status.
This script handles basic authentication (.htaccess / .htpasswd), SSL
encryption, and redirection to extract any of the following values:
* active_threads
* bytes_per_request (measured in bytes)
* bytes_per_second (measured in bytes per second)
* cpu_load (measured in percent)
* cpu_usage_system (measured in percent)
* cpu_usage_system_children (measured in percent)
* cpu_usage_total (measured in percent)
* cpu_usage_user (measured in percent)
* cpu_usage_user_children (measured in percent)
* idle_threads
* parent_server_generation
* requests_per_second
* server_uptime (does not require thresholds)
* server_version (does not require thresholds)
* slots_open
* slots_total
* ssl_average_session_time_remaining (measured in seconds)
* ssl_cache_remove_hits (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_cache_remove_misses (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_cache_retrieve_hits (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_cache_retrieve_misses (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_cache_type (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_cache_usage (measured in percent)
* ssl_current_sessions (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_expired_sessions (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_highest_session_time_remaining (measured in seconds)
* ssl_index_usage (measured in percent)
* ssl_indexes_per_subcache (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_lowest_session_time_remaining (measured in seconds)
* ssl_shared_memory (measured in bytes, does not require thresholds)
* ssl_subcaches (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_total_sessions (does not require thresholds)
* ssl_uncached_unexpired_sessions (does not require thresholds)
* threads_closing_connection
* threads_dns_lookup
* threads_gracefully_finishing
* threads_idly_cleaning
* threads_keepalive
* threads_logging
* threads_reading_request
* threads_sending_reply
* threads_starting_up
* threads_waiting_for_connection
* total_accesses (does not require thresholds)
* total_traffic (measured in bytes, does not require thresholds)
Note: mod_status calculates requests_per_second and bytes_per_second
as an average of requests and bytes over uptime. These do not
represent a rolling average.
Note: mod_status calculates the following SSL-related values as of
the most recent server restart: ssl_total_sessions,
ssl_expired_sessions, ssl_uncached_unexpired_sessions,
ssl_cache_retrieve_hits, ssl_cache_retrieve_misses,
ssl_cache_remove_hits, ssl_cache_remove_misses.
This has been tested with Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) and should work with any
HTTPD 2.x running mod_status. Most Apache HTTPD builds come with
mod_status pre- compiled: you usually don't have to load it manually.
One way to configure mod_status on an HTTPD server is to include the
following in your httpd.conf:
ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from 192.168.1.10
</Location>
You will ideally want to encrypt this through SSL, protect it behind an
.htaccess file, or both. At very minimum, it would be good practice to
white- list any IPs which will need access to status information with
'Allow from' directives rather than Allowing from all and relying on a
blacklist.
SYNOPSIS
Command Line Interface
Poll status on a server with no encryption or authentication:
check_apache -H your_host.com -w 160 -c 200 \
-m active_threads
Poll status on a server with encryption but no authentication:
check_apache -S -P 443 -H your_host.com -w 160 \
-c 200 -m active_threads
Poll status on a server with encryption and authentication:
check_apache -S -P 443 -H your_host.com -w 160 \
-c 200 -m active_threads -u username -p password
Poll a server with command line options stored in a configuration file:
check_apache --extra-opts=my_config.ini
Running within Nagios
In objects/commands.cfg:
define command{
command_name check_apache
command_line $USER1$/check_apache -H $HOSTNAME$ -m \
$ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$
}
define command{
command_name check_apache_ssl
command_line $USER1$/check_apache -H $HOSTNAME$ -m \
$ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -P 443 -S
}
define command{
command_name check_apache_ssl_auth
command_line $USER1$/check_apache -H $HOSTNAME$ -m \
$ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -P 443 -S \
-u $ARG4$ -p $ARG5$
}
define command{
command_name check_apache_auth
command_line $USER1$/check_apache -H $HOSTNAME$ -m \
$ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -u $ARG4$ \
-p $ARG5$
}
In the configuration file for your host with apache running on it:
define service{
use local-service
host_name your.hostname.com
service_description Apache Active Threads
check_command check_apache!active_threads!200!300
}
define service{
use local-service
host_name your.encrypted.hostname.com
service_description Apache Active Threads
check_command check_apache_ssl!active_threads!200!300
}
define service{
use local-service
host_name your.cool.hostname.com
service_description Apache Active Threads
check_command check_apache_ssl_auth!active_threads!200!300!un!pw
}
define service{
use local-service
host_name your.passworded.hostname.com
service_description Apache Active Threads
check_command check_apache_auth!active_threads!200!300!un!pw
}
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Q: I've checked all of my command line arguments thrice, but am still
getting "APACHE UNKNOWN - Host returned HTTP code 500." on an otherwise
working server. I've even run it with -v and verified that the URI it
generates if correct: I can copy and paste it into Firefox and
everything and it works there! What gives?
A: If you've using SSL, you need to install Crypt::SSLeay. Also, if
you're not polling port 80, don't forget to specify your port with the
-P option.
SEE ALSO
If using an external configuration file, it should be structured
according to the specification at
<http://nagiosplugins.org/extra-opts/>.
If you intend on processing requests over SSL, you will need the
Crypt::SSLeay module installed.
Thresholds given to this script should be in the format specified at
<http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html>.
This module is built upon Nagios::Plugin by the Nagios Plugin
Development Team. Further reading on Nagios, NPRE, and Nagios Plugins is
available at <http://nagios.com/>.
