check_uptime work around... with snmp

[Leonard Miller]

I must have missed that thread.  On Linux you can use swatch and
set it to look for 
shutting down for system reboot
or
Switching to runlevel

and then have swatch send him a message.

Hi all,

Someone was looking up a way to be notified when his servers where rebooting. The suggestion at that time was to use the check_uptime check that is in the contrib directory (= means, does not work right now and need some modification).

A work around for this, using snmp, would be to use the check_snmp check (latest daily release of plugins, with the range option.

So the command would look like... (in checkcommands.cfg)
BEGIN --------------------
#snmp
define command{
   command_name snmp_sysuptime
   command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 300:1 -C $ARG1$ -o .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
}
----------------- END

-o .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = This is the OID uptime in seconds (I think) for everything that does SNMP
-c 300:1 = Assuming that theses are seconds, this option would let me know if it is between 300 seconds and 1 second.

You would have to do some tests to actually see if it is seconds.

Happy hunting. :)
