[Check_mk (english)] How to start a check from cli?

Archive checkmk-en
1

I configured a an aktive http-post check inside of WATO.

The http-get check worked, but since I want to test a login too, a co-worker defined a dummy loginuser, which should give a expected response.

For debugging I’d like to start that check from cli, but can’t find how to do it.

Hi Frank,

If you select the full view of the appropriate service in multisite (click the service’s name) the resulting command is reported. You can use that command to invoke the command on command line ($USER1$ normally expands to the default location of the nagios plugin, $USER2$ to the plugin in the local folder).

HTH,

Marcel

Hi Frank,

I suppose you’ve no problem with mails in German? :wink:

In this thread (http://lists.mathias-kettner.de/pipermail/checkmk-de/2012-June/001701.html) the same questions have been asked and answered by Mathias Kettner…

HTH,

Marcel

Tried that (sorry for not mentioned that earlier), but that command looks like this:

check_mk_active-http! -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -u ‘/path/to/secure-login/?do=doLogin&submit=true’ -p 8443 --ssl -e ‘Abmelden’ -P ‘forwardPage=&textUsername=dummy_user&textPassword=secret_passwd_for_dummy’ -T ‘text/html’ -j POST

But there isn’t a check_mk_aktive-http command (at least non that the siteusers nows of by starting it from his homedir.). So I think I still mis
something (perhaps opvious)

Hi Frank,

search for the nagios plugin ‘check_http’ (in OMD usually located in ~/lib/nagios/plugins/ (shipped) or ~/local/lib/nagios/plugins/ (customized)) and use this as binary.

…that’s the command defined for check_mk_active-http in ~/etc/nagios/conf.d/check_mk_objects.cfg:

define command {

command_name check_mk_active-http

command_line $USER1$/check_http $ARG1$

}

HTH,
