I just looked at your files, I think "tell me if it's true" that your Nagios is on the same machine as "Weewx"; my Nagios is on a server outside the RPi, so I think there must be something missing in the programs to run it remotely, like I have in the other Nagios plugins; for example: -H $HOSTADDRESS$ etc etc; patrick, if nagios is on the same machine, then you can run the plugin directly. but if nagios is on a different machine, then you must install the "nagios remote plugin executor" (NRPE) on the machine running weewx. then NRPE will run the plugin. if you do not want to install NRPE on the weewx machine, then you must talk to the weewx machine over standard network interfaces. in that case, your nagios plugin might do an http/https request to the weewx machine to see when the weewx report was last updated. of course, this assumes that you are running a web server on the weewx machine to publish your weewx reports. you could also run a nagios ssh plugin - in that case, the plugin should execute a command on the weewx machine that returns the information you want in nagios. that would use the same approach that you see in the nagios_wview plugin (check for existance of weewxd process, check database timestamp, return data from database as performance data), but do it over an ssh connection with shell scripting. another approach would be to write a weewx service, say weewx-nagios, that listens on a network port then provides the information about weewxd and report status when it is queried. or create a weewx-snmp extension that runs on the weewx machine, gathers the weewx and report status, but responds to standard snmp queries. that would be the most generic approach, and would let you monitor weewx using much any tool that can do snmp - nagios, icinga, prtg, zabbix, etc. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
