Just wanted to share this plugin, comes handy if you’re using Pi-Hole https://pi-hole.net

#!/bin/sh
pihole_status="$(/usr/local/bin/pihole status)"
pihole_error="$(echo "$pihole_status" | grep 'DNS service is NOT running')"
pihole_ok="$(echo "$pihole_status" | xargs | grep -E 'DNS service is running.*Pi-hole blocking is Enabled')"

pihole_version="$(/usr/local/bin/pihole -v)"
pihole_installed_version="$(echo "$pihole_version" | awk {'print $4'})"
pihole_last_version="$(echo "$pihole_version" | awk {'print $6'} | sed 's/)//')"


if [ ! -z "$pihole_error" ]; then
	echo "2 Pi-Hole - CRIT: Pi-Hole service is NOT running"
elif [ ! -z "$pihole_ok" ]; then
	if [ "$pihole_installed_version" != "$pihole_last_version" ]; then
		echo "1 Pi-Hole - WARN: Pi-Hole updates are available"
	else
		echo "0 Pi-Hole - OK: Pi-Hole service is running"
	fi
else
	echo "1 Pi-Hole - WARN: Pi-Hole is partially working, probably not blocking Ads"
fi
