Icinga Check for system services

Requirements

This check only requires Python 3.6 (openSUSE Leap 15.4 based) and nothing more. Place it somewhere accessible for Icinga.

Arguments

./check_systemd_service -n MYSERVICE -u myservice.service 

• -n Label for this service check
• -u Unit-Name of the service to be checked
• -s sets the state when the service is not "active". Default is 2 (CRIT)

Installation

Place the check_systemd_service somewhere where Icinga can access it (e.g. /usr/local/bin). Then append the content of services.conf and commands.conf to your Icinga files.

Config

Put this in your host.conf:

        vars.systemd_services["Minecraft"] = {
                systemd_service_name = "Minecraft"
                systemd_service_unit = "gameserver@minecraft.service"
        }
