Hello group, I''ve got a check defined in nagios that allows me to determine if a puppet client has not updated itself in awhile /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -f /var/lib/puppet/state/ state.yaml -w 3600 -c 4000 Now I''d like to start thinking about adding some facts and thought I''d ping the group for ideas. Some interesting things to know would include: - Time stamp of last run - Number of errors (or if errors is just > 0) - Age of lock file if present (useful when a paranoid admin runs puppetd --disable) Best, Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

James, Thanks for pointing it out. I''m really not sure what to do with it though. Would you mind shedding some light?

Would you mind shedding some light?Well it already does what you''ve done with the Nagios check. I was suggesting you could expand it to return the required results you want. If you want facts obviously you can create them but if you want a reporting mechanism that seemed like a logical start.

I have done this:
class nrpe inherits puppet::master {
include nagios2::nrpe
user { "nagios":
groups => ''puppet'',
}
file { "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_puppet":
ensure => "present",
source =>
"puppet://$servername/puppet/check_puppet",
mode => 755,
notify =>
Service[''nagios-nrpe-server''],
require =>
Package[''nagios-plugins-basic'']
}
line { check_puppet_line:
file => "/etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg",
line =>
"command[check_puppet]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_pup
pet",
notify => Service[''nagios-nrpe-server'']
}
nagios2::service { "puppetlast":
check_command =>
"check_nrpe_1arg!check_puppet"
}
}
The check_puppet command is this:
http://hg.koumbit.net/module-puppet/file/tip/files/check_puppet
Note that this creates one service for all hosts, whereas you may want
to do this with NSCA (instead of NRPE) and report one service per host.
I didn''t go that fancy way, and would be interested in such a
contribution.

That might be useful too.This script runs only on the puppetmaster (at least for Debian Lenny, it''s part of the puppetmaster-package) and it displays a list of hosts and when the last run was. I would also prefer a by-host check like the OP. Is anything wrong with the proposed check_file_age?

How about check_puppet.rb in ext/ ? This one runs on the clients =) Regards, AJ On 9/01/09 3:16 AM, "Helmut Lichtenberg" <Helmut.Lichtenberg@fli.bund.de> wrote:> > James Turnbull schrieb am 07.
