Hi,
We have about a dozen mac minis running squid proxy, and I’d like to monitor them using check_mk.
How should I do this? I have found a squid mkp
http://mathias-kettner.com/check_mk_exchange_file.php?HTML=&file=squid-1.3.mkp
but am not sure how to install it in a mac environment. The macs are running 10.9 through 10.12.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
Once you install the mkp into your Check_MK, the Linux agent is fairly generic. But requires that you have a program called squidclient on your PATH when the agent on the Mac is called.
So, if you can execute squidclient (non-qualified) from a shell on your Macs, just copy the linux plugin into your local plugins dir on your Mac and it will likely work.

I installed check_mk raw 1.2.8p11 last year using OMD. I love it! However, I just tried to install the squid-1.3.mkp check on my check_mk server, and found that I don’t have the command: check_mk which is used to install the extension.
I’m running this on ubuntu 16.04.
Does installing check_mk via OMD exclude the check_mk command? Is there a way to add it? If not, is there another command to use to install extensions given an OMD based install?
Thanks,
Marc

You should have check_mk. Are you installing (properly) as the monitor user (whatever user you used for that)?
Check to see who the OMD user for Ubuntu's install of check_mk and become that user to install the mkp

Thanks for the tip. Seeing the root prompt in the documentation threw me, but your solution did the trick. When I change the user to the one I specified in omd, I can find the check_mk command.
Given that I didn’t install an agent on the mac, but just placed the mac script on my macs, I don’t believe I have a plugins directory.

Is this the plugin I’d use: /usr/share/sosreport/sos/plugins/squid.py
Where should I create the plugins directory on my macs?

hmmm... oddly, the OSX agent (mine didnt) doesn't have a plugin section. Rats... means you may have to embed it into the mac OSX check_mk_agent file itself.

All I really want to do is check to make sure that squid processes are running on these machines. Is there another way to check that and get a reliable answer?

You can probably just add:
if type squidclient > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
echo "<<<check_squid>>>"
squidclient -p 3128 -T2 mgr:5min | grep =
fi
to the bottom of your check_mk_agent script on OSX.

I didn’t see anything related to squid on the output when I added that snippet to the bottom of my script. I went ahead and searched for services in the off chance that squid would get picked up, but it did not?
Any other thoughts?
