Nagios/Icinga usage

Add following check command object to your commands file

object CheckCommand "ipset" {
	import "plugin-check-command"
	command = [ PluginDir + "/check_ipset.sh" ]
	arguments = {
		"-n" = {}
		"-p" = "$log_path$"
	}
}

Than add service definition to your services with check_command = "ipset".

Supported vars:

• log_path - Sets full path to log file with ipset status.

Log file is required for show ipset sets info because the nagios user does not have the rights to access to ipset command. Put get_ipset_info.sh in any directory.

Than add script to cron

*/1 * * * * /bin/bash <full_path_to_script> -p <full_path_to_log_file> -s <ipset_set_name>

Script creates/updates log file in specified path and make it readable only for users in nagios group and for user nagios.
