I agree it's not ideal, when I first saw this I wondered why nobody has done a proper plugin in C or something, but then, who's going to do it? It's not easy and it's hard to find the time for something like this when there is already a (mainly) working solution. I, probably like everyone else, figured the check_oracle script was worth a try, and just good enough. I have used it for a year and a half and it's done great by me so far. But then I am not running exotic architectures... If worst came to worst, you could just have the plugin and instant client on an x86 box and run it via a remote check like nrpe... -h Hari Sekhon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Ehm, oracle_client is havily dependent on instannt client, therefore > cannot be used under arm,ppc,etc,... > > $ uname -m > armv5tel > > Br,AdmirTrakic > > -----Original Message----- > From: Hari Sekhon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 24 September 2007 12:08 > To: Trakic, Admir > Cc: Nagios Users mailinglist > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Oracle test without oracle client > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> I agree with you, but again it was just a dirty hack (if no >> $ORACLE_HOME)... >> >> Additionally I would also comment on your "usable" pointer: >> - take a good look on your tablespace checks, since the check_oracle >> script does not taking any account on that, for more info se: >> http://www.oracleutilities.com/autoextend.html >> >> > True, it's not 100% cos your tablespaces could be out of space, there > are a couple of oracle scripts in contrib that are supposed to check > tablespaces but I don't use them personally at this time.
