Re: New feature

[Daniel Rich]

Take a look at the check_monit.py Nagios plugin, it does what you are trying to do without requiring that monit be installed on the system where you want to run the check. 
    http://code.google.com/p/nagios-monit-plugin/

For example:

> /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_monit.py -H server -u admin -P xxxx
OK: Total 27 services are monitored
> /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_monit.py -H server -u admin -P xxxx -i apache
OK: Total 1 services are monitored
> /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_monit.py -H server2 -u admin -P xxxx -i asterisk
OK: Total 1 services are monitored

Hi,

I am considering adding a new feature to monit, to whit:


monit status <service>

e.g.

monit status spread ; echo $?

Would return

running   0


Which would return a string, and, set an appropriate error code on exit ( e.g. 0 - OK, 1 - unknown etc)

Unless there is a better way ?

Thanks,
Andrew
