-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have downloaded the Net-DHCP module and the dhcp.monitor but if I try and run it from a shell
i.e. perl dhcp.monitor krypton (or ./dhcp.monitor krypton) Gets... Can not resolve: at ./dhcp.monitor line 57 As the monitoring box is on a static IP, I guess this is causing part of the error. I would also like to "simulate" a dhcp request rather than an actual one - is this possible? Alternatively, can the script be hacked (I am NOT a Perl person) so that I can insert a dhcp server to interrogate. The rest of my mon setup works well (DNS, oracle db's, Citrix, web etc etc) But I am a bit confused as to why I can't get this monitor to work. Puzzled.

But with i didn't find a script to > check a DHCP service.... I wrote a script for monitoring DHCP servers. I'm attaching it to this message. It uses the Net::DHCP::Watch perl module, which you can get from CPAN, to send DHCP INFORM messages to each server given on the command line. A few things to note are: It uses ifconfig to determine the monitoring host's IP address and Ethernet address. If you aren't running on a Linux machine, you may wish to change that. And if the monitoring host isn't listed in the DHCP server's configuration, I don't know what will happen. With ISC's DHCPD, during periods of high load the dhcp server may not respond within the 30 second timeout. So you will want to have an alertafter configuration specified, so that you won't get false alerts. Since the script just does an INFORM transaction, this won't detect a case where a pool of dynamic addresses is fully utilized. Actually detecting that would require significantly more work. - -David Nolan Network Software Developer Carnegie Mellon University Computing Services -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0 iQA/AwUBPkolbVb1rXjosed5EQKEiACghHA3em5Lzya3bgbNUUucQiDTvdIAn0y/ 0TaKqj1KJXApToIRqbrhasRH =x+vt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ...............................................................
