RE: [Zope] zope and nagios
Actually, I'd love to have a look at your zeoup-based plugin myself :) As Chris suggests, it is normal for Zope to keep running after it loses its ZEO connection. If you're worried about that, setup a separate ZEO monitor.

RE: [Zope] zope and nagios
Actually to detect whether it is *running* fetching a page will do the trick. That's what we do here and it works fine. That will NOT detect however if Zope is running, but errors are occuring. I sthat what you really want? Why would looking up a page not do the trick?

I am especially interested to learn what to test to detect a running but not responding zope. Just looking up a page seems not to do the trick. As far as I'm concerned, a not responding Zope and a not running Zope are the same thing. check_http with the Zope port (and other necessary parameters) works fine for me. You could write a custom check that does whatever you want (including checking the logs or zopectl), but I think that's more trouble than it's worth. -- Ron ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

When you have zope running on top of zeo and stop zeo you still can ask for a page and it will be returned correctly. But you can not do nothing sensible on your site. we do check with nagios for a page (looking for a spcial string).
