Re: [Nagios-users] calling a java program from nagios

2009-01-30 Thread Venugopal S 

Hi Marc,

The program that we have written uses HTTPUnit+Statemachine for web
crawling some websites.

What we do through this java code is to check whether the login action
on few websites is happening properly. If some login fails, we would
send an email to the mailing list.

Hope this is clear.
Please let me know if anything else is needed.

See the rest of my questions below. You have not yet stated your 
intent so we can't answer how to do it. Be _very_ clear about what 
you're trying to accomplish.

Hi Marc,

The program can be run from commandline with one argument (which is
critical for the java code to work).

For example : "java -classpath Notify.jar " is the format. How
to achieve this is nagios ?

Your post and purpose is unclear. Is this java program a check plugin, 
an event handler, a notification program, etc? If you can manually run 
it from the command line, nagios should be able to do so.

[Nagios-users] calling a java program from nagios

2009-01-29 Thread Venugopal S 

Hi,



For some purpose that was not served by nagios, we have written a java
program.

One of our client requirement is that this java code (if possible) has
to be integrated with nagios so that all the purpose is
solved(apparently) by nagios framework.



Any input is appreciated.



Thanks

Looking at the source of the page, the sign-in form has the following 
pertinent fields --




The field names that would be passed as the POST are 'email' and 
'password'. Now, I don't know what command{} definitions you have for 
check_http or how they're configured so I'll show you how to create a 
new one very specific to this test --

define command {
command_namecheck_flowers_login
command_line$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H 
ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P 
"email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum"
}

Set that as the check_command for a service associated with the host 
and nagios will verify that the web server does not return an HTTP 
error after login. Note that if your server returns a standard 200 
response indicating OK even if there is a login error (most likely), 
you'll want to identify a word or string of text that should appear in 
the page after successful login, but not for a failure, and look for 
that with the -s parameter --

define command {
command_namecheck_flowers_login
command_line$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H 
ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P 
"email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum" -s "you are logged in"
}

Hi Venu,


do you know 'check_website'.
I use it for monitoring a handful websites. It's able to follow
applications even with dynamically generated URLs. As far as I remember
(I dont need it) it follows redirects.

It' worth a look.

> "welcome venu"



Hi Venu,

I created an account to test and see that I gave you some incorrect 
information. Looking at the form HTML, the URL that the form 
information is actually posted to is /signinaction.do, not /signin.do 
so that will need to change that in the command definition.

Now with the correct URL and successful login, I see that the success 
'page' returned is just a 302 redirect that bounces you to

Location: https://ww12.1800flowers.com/customerwelcome.do?cmReg=L

Unfortunately we come to a stopping point here. check_http will need 
to follow that redirect if it's going to see the text you're expecting 
to see on the final page and it can do that with  --onredirect=follow. 
The problem is that the coding of the final landing page appears to 
absolutely require the presence of a login cookie to know that you're 
logged in. check_http does not pass cookies as part of a redirect (but 
can be programmed to pass static cookies using the -k switch). The 
cookies that are being passed to us appear to be temporary session 
cookies anyway so I'm not sure how useful it would be to create 
another check for the customerwelcome.do page.

What I ended up with is --

./check_http  -I 199.107.237.196 -H  ww12.1800flowers.com -u /
signinaction.do -p 80 -P "email=myaddress&password=mypass" -e 302 -r 
html --invert-regex

This will ensure that we see the 302 redirect returned by a successful 
login and that we do not see the word 'html' in a web page instead of 
the 302 redirect (meaning the login failed). Essentially, you'll know 
that the login worked, but not that the customerwelcome.do page was 
actually displayed. That may be enough for your needs.

Even I gave the -v switch and found in the HTML response that "welcome

Add -v to you test a analyze te response. There is no string "welcome
venu" in the response.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using nagios check_http for webbasedauthentication

2009-01-22 Thread Venugopal S 

Hi Marc,



This is my command in commands.cfg :



define command{

command_namecheck_http

command_line$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$


}



I executed the following command :



./check_http -I 199.107.237.196 -H  ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do
-p 80 -P "email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum" -s "welcome venu"



and it threw



HTTP CRITICAL - string not found|time=0.080070s;;;0.00
size=38300B;;;0



Any idea why ?



FYI : the password has been changed and now is not "podhum".



Thanks

Venu

Looking at the source of the page, the sign-in form has the following 

pertinent fields --










The field names that would be passed as the POST are 'email' and 

'password'. Now, I don't know what command{} definitions you have for 

check_http or how they're configured so I'll show you how to create a 

new one very specific to this test --



define command {

command_name   check_flowers_login

command_line  $USER1$/check_http -I
$HOSTADDRESS$ -H 

ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P 

"email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum"

}



Set that as the check_command for a service associated with the host 

and nagios will verify that the web server does not return an HTTP 

error after login. Note that if your server returns a standard 200 

response indicating OK even if there is a login error (most likely), 

you'll want to identify a word or string of text that should appear in 

the page after successful login, but not for a failure, and look for 

that with the -s parameter --



define command {

command_name   check_flowers_login

command_line  $USER1$/check_http -I
$HOSTADDRESS$ -H 

ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P 

"email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum" -s "you are logged in"

}

My charge is 1 local specialty beer for all Hand Holding Help.

Why did you give us a valid user/password combination? :-)

Re: [Nagios-users] Using nagios check_http for web basedauthentication

2009-01-22 Thread Venugopal S 

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the reply. I am even now vague about how to proceed.

Let me tell you the need :

I have to open http://ww12.1800flowers.com/signin.do and enter my
email(svenugop...@gmail.com) and password("podhum") in order to login.

When I login using the above valid credentials it would take me to the
next page or otherwise throw an error.

How do I compose the command line for check_http ?

Though this looks like a lot of hand holding, I have no other go.

Can you please help ?

Venu

Since you're using forms based authentication, use the -P parameter to 
check_http.

$ ./check_http --help

[chop]

  -P, --post=STRING
 URL encoded http POST data


check_http -I  -H www.venu.com -u /autorize.do -P 
"usernamefield=username&passwordfield=password"

If you need something more complex than that you might want to search 
for past posts about use of perl's WWW::Mechanize or 
Nagios::WebTransact to help create a custom plugin.

Note for future readers, if the site uses standard htaccess 
authentication then '-a username:password' if the format.

[Nagios-users] Using nagios check_http for web based authentication

2009-01-22 Thread Venugopal S 

Hi,



Can I do a check on a particular website by supplying the username and
password to nagios check_http commandline ?



To be clear :



Assume that I want to check whether login action happens properly on my
website which is www.venu.com  . And the login
page name is www.venu.com/signup.do . This form would take username and
password and send a POST request to www.venu.com/autorize.do. How will i
check this in nagios ?



If it had been GET method, I would have done that. But in my case, it is
POST method.



Please help me out.



Thanks

Venu
