Making the date format for check_http --ssl configurable has been requested for quite a while now, but it hasn't seemed to bother any committers enough to ever fix it.
I fixed it a while ago on my local copy of check_http (didn't make it configurable - just hard coded what I wanted in place of the hard coded us format) but today I decided I'd make it configurable. It'd be nice if it'd just read a date_format= line from nagios.cfg but it seems that nagios plugins exist in quite a separate universe from nagios and that isn't easy - I'd be delighted if somebody would tell me I'm wrong. So, I've made each of check_http, check_smtp and check_tcp now take a --date-format flag, with allowed values the same as those in the nagios config file i.e. us (MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM) euro (DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM) iso8601 (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM) strict-iso8601 (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM) Note that I've dropped the seconds value as it's apparently not available. They also take a short option of -o which was decided on from the few available in each of check_http, check_smtp and check_tcp . Is there any interest in taking these changes back into the plugins source? If so, who would I send them to? I made the changes in a copy of nagios-plugins-1.4.16-89-gbfe6 and I just cloned the git repository and see there are quite some changes in that compared to nagios-plugins-1.4.16-89-gbfe6, but I doubt it'd be too much effort for me to redo my changes in the current git tree. Kindest regards, Niall O Broin
