The application check_site_simple is a program to check the availability and integrity of html based websites. It works as a monitoring-plugin for Nagios-compatible system-monitoring frameworks.
To successfully install, configure and run check_site_simple as monitoring-plugin you will need:
CNR-*_check_site_simple.dat) which you can download from the distributors portal (see Contact for how to buy ).As of the writing of this manual the application check_site_simple is in a beta state and not meant for use in production.
check_site_simple is a ready-to-use compiled binary without any
dependency. It can be started from the commandline as
./check_site_simple after download. It is aimed to be run either
as active check (check_site_simple --url=https://www.example.com)
or
via cron on a regular base feeding it’s output to the monitoring-daemon trough a pipe. In other words: check_site_simple can also be used for passive-checks.
We recommend the configuration as active check for new users.
The steps to install check_site_simple on the monitoring server are:
Copy the binary check_site_simple to the monitoring servers plugin directory (the Nagios standard path is /usr/local/nagios/libexec)
Copy the license-file to it’s default location /usr/local/check_site_simple/etc. If this path does not exist, create it.
Check if it works. Typing ./check_site_simple --version should write the programs version string to the console.
That’s ist! You can now continue with the configuration.
