Hi,

You could also do a SNMPWALK on the hrSWInstalledName table (1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3) and extract the latest installed kernel version by doing some regex work.

Current as in installed, or current as in available?

We wrote this a while ago to see if the most recently installed kernel is the bootable kernel:

#!/bin/bash

#

# Check if current kernel is being used.

#

GRUBBY=/sbin/grubby

GREP=/bin/grep

UNAME=/bin/uname

OUTPUT="Current kernel running."

EXIT_VAL=0

if $GRUBBY --default-kernel | $GREP -vq $($UNAME -r); then

OUTPUT="Kernel updated, reboot required."

EXIT_VAL=1

fi

echo $OUTPUT

exit $EXIT_VAL

But as Daniel said, a trivial plugin it's NRPE calling the two-line routine:

#!/bin/bash

/bin/uname -r

exit $?

Or using SNMP:

define command {

command_name  return_kernel_version

command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 -P 2c -C public

}

The choice of what to use is yours.

I haven't seen one, but would be trivial to write one. You looking to see the rpm -q kernel output or something like uname -a?

Does anyone know of or have a plugin that will display the current kernel level for Redhat?

Thanks,
