Title: Nagios/Icinga Plugin to check for DokuWiki Updates (v2,2015-09-05)

---------------------------------------------------


Nagios/Icinga can also serve to send you friendly reminders, like for example that you need to perform software updates.

Here's my little contribution, a simple plugin to monitor a given DokuWiki site and check against the release server for any upgrades.

Just fetch the  check_dokuwiki-0.1 check_dokuwiki-0.2 tarball and extract the check_dokuwiki script to your Nagios/Icinga plugin directory.

The latest plugin update (0.2, 2015-09-06) catches up with latest updates on Dokuwikis web page, and now incorporates upstream checks using the same mechanism that Dokuwiki uses internally. Also it adds some (although not yet well tested) support for http authentication.

Please check out the cli help for more details on specific arguments:


check_dokuwiki v (nagios-plugins 1.4.15)
The nagios plugins come with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. You may redistribute
copies of the plugins under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Usage:
  check_dokuwiki -H 
  check_dokuwiki [-h | --help]
  check_dokuwiki [-V | --version]

more arguments
  -a | --use-auth              enable http authentication mode
  -r name | --realm=name       use given realm with http auth
  -u user | --username=user    use given username for http auth
  -p pass | --password=pass    use given password for http auth
  -s | --use-ssl               enable SSL mode (uses TCP:443 as default, see --tcp-port
  -p num | --tcp-port num      use non-standard port
                               if not given, defaults to TCP:80 (or TCP:443 if --use-ssl is used)

   	give any valid DokuWiki hostname to fetch the 'VERSION' file from.
                         Note: HTTP AUTH is currently not supported.

Send email to nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net if you have questions
regarding use of this software. To submit patches or suggest improvements,
send email to nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
Please include version information with all correspondence (when possible,
use output from the --version option of the plugin itself).


Register the plugin with a command definition like this:
# 'check_dokuwiki' command definition
define command{
        command_name	check_dokuwiki
        command_line	/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_dokuwiki -H $HOSTNAME
	}

Then simply add a service to one or more of your DokuWiki hosts (or hostgroups, whatever you prefer).
define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               your_wiki_host_objects_list_here
        service_description     dokuwiki_version
        check_command           check_dokuwiki
        max_check_attempts      5
        check_interval          5
        retry_interval          3
        check_period            24x7
        notification_interval   0
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    w,c,r
        }

Restart Nagios/Icinga and you're done.

Happy monitoring :-)
