Monitoring a Freebox (from French provider Free/Proxad)

Hi,

I’ve written a small piece of perl code, which allows to monitor a Freebox from within the LAN, sending back data to a check_mk hosts in the form of a check_mk-agent output
It is not stricto sensu a package, so I can’t submit a mkp for it.

But it can be found on GitHub : https://github.com/xavier8854/perl-Freebox-Check_Mk-Agent. Feel free to take a look and comment

Cheers
Xavier

Your script looks like a datasource program / special agent. Can it be run on the monitoring server from within the site?

Then you could place it in $OMD_ROOT/local/share/check_mk/agents/special and call it via ruleset “Individual program call instead of agent access”. No need to “hijack” port 6556 on an otherwise uninvolved host.
