Kannel Plugin Needed

[Dude]

Nagios has a plugin to check kannel performance...

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... el/details

but cacti doesn't have anything like that...!
Please develop such a plugin for cacti too!!

--
Thanks!

[phalek]

Try the attached one and follow the instructions for the data input methods here:

http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:3a_adv ... ut_methods

It's the same plugin as for nagios, but instead of printing out WARNING, CRITICAL and so on, it (should) just print out the stats,which you then can add to cacti ...

Code: Select all

	print "sms_recieved_queued:".$kannel{sms}{received}{queued}." ";
	print "sms_sent_queued:".$kannel{sms}{sent}{queued}." ";
	print "sms_inbound:".$kannel{sms}{inbound}." ";
	print "sms_outbound:".$kannel{sms}{outbound}." ";
	print "sms_storesize:".$kannel{sms}{storesize}." ";
	print "dir_queued:".$kannel{dlr}{queued}." ";
	print "dir_storage:".$kannel{dlr}{storage}." ";
	print "smscs_count:".$kannel{smscs}{count}." ";
	print "boxes_wapbox_online:".$kannel{boxes}{wapbox}{online}." ";
	print "boxes_smsbox_online:".$kannel{boxes}{smsbox}{online};

This is what I get when I run the script in CLI :

Code: Select all

Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at check_kannel_cacti.pl line 23.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at check_kannel_cacti.pl line 23.

what now?

[phalek]

install the perl requirements. I assume you have the nagios plugin running on another system ?

[Dude]

nagios plugins?? well I just have cacti. I don't have nagios on any machine.
and I just want a plugin for CACTI which can monitor KANNEL

[phalek]

Ok. I assumed you have the nagios plugin running somewhere.
Depending on which OS you are using you need to use yum or apt to install the modules.
So, what operating system do you use ?

[Dude]

I am using centOS 5.5
cacti Version 0.8.7g with PIA

[phalek]

run the following command on your CentOS box, this will install the missing perl modules.

Also download the v2 zip. There was a slight error as it assumes you have nagios running. (it now should work without nagios being installed)

Code: Select all

yum install perl-libwww-perl perl-XML-DOM perl-XML-DOM-XPath perl-XML-XPath

[Dude]

well, thanks!!! the errors are gone BUT
I ran

Code: Select all

perl check_kannel_cacti.pl

and got no output/error at cmd...

is this normal?

[phalek]

Try a -h ...

Code: Select all

perl check_kannel_cacti.pl -h

[Dude]

man! I should have known!! lol

thanks!!!

[phalek]

just tell me if that is actually working, i do not have a kunnel box ( never heard of that before your post

[Dude]

its working but...
actually, what I wanted to do was to check various SMSC's message (inbound/outbound) count... and their connectivity.

this perl script just prints some BASIC stuff...

[phalek]

well, that's not a big problem ( well it is for me, as i do not have the box

But you can help out here.

Cal the following page from you kannel box:

http://<hostname>:<port>/status.xml?password=<password>

It should return an xml document. If you care, remove any confidential stuff and then send me the xml file to support@urban-software.de. I can then add the missing parts.

Just add the values/names you want to have included.

[Dude]

mail sent.
