Nagios plugin to test if UFO Framework is in good shape

[Suren A. Chilingaryan]

We need a simple Nagios plugin which will run daily and check if UFO framework based application produces correct results on the testing system. The plugin interface is rather simple. It is a application/script which exits with code 0 in case of success, 1 - for a warning, and 2 - for critical error. The first line of standard output is kind of title describing the title, for instance:

• OK
• UFO plugins are missing
• Invalid output

the rest of standard output is some details. You may take a look on nagios_pyhst.sh and nagios_opencl.sh in /opt/scripts at ipepdvcompute1.

You have to provide some more information on how to actually add the script so that it shows up in Nagios. There is now one on ipepdvcompute1 that runs make test for ufo-core.

[Suren A. Chilingaryan]

Yes, this script is more-or-less that I want. Just we need to test the system-wide installation, not a jenkins build (which is not present on other servers anyway).

The nagios configuration is in /etc/nagios/servers at ipepdv.ka.fzk.de (standard root password). The command should be described in 01_commands_pdv.cfg and, then, added to tomo-servers group in 20_spec_compute.cfg. However, if you just provide the script, I'll do nagios configuration myself.

As long as everything is still changing as rapidly as it is now, it does not make much sense, not to tie it to Jenkins IMHO.

[Suren A. Chilingaryan]

OK. I don't think we need to duplicate Jenkins anyway. If you think it is to early to make system checks, just set status of ticket to postponed.

[Matthias Vogelgesang]

Yes, I need some more time.
