Martin Wilke 1c3bcf2e5c check_puppet - is a very simple Nagios plugin to check Puppet daemon
availability with SNMP.

Why check_puppet?

1. It does check whether puppetd and puppetmasterd is alive.

2. It does check state.yaml freshness

3. It does not require the full net-mgmt/nagios-plugins package on the client
side

4. It is written in sh - code interpreter available in a base system

*******************************************************************************
Configuration expamle:
1. On the client side in snmpd.conf(5) create a new exec command:
exec check_puppet %%PREFIX%%/bin/check_puppet
2. On the Nagios node create (if necessary) `check_snmp_oid' checkcommand:
define command {
command_name check_snmp_oid
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}
Be sure to provide `command_line' here with correct authentication options
specific to your SNMP installation. You need to have package from
net-mgmt/nagios-plugins installed on your system compiled with WITH_NETSNMP
option enabled (disabled by default).
3. Create a new check service:
define service {
use generic-service
host_name your_hostname
service_description Puppet daemon
check_command check_snmp_oid!.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.1,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.100.1!,0!,1!
}
Adjust OID numbers to your SNMP installation by checking the output of
snmpwalk(1) command. The first OID should be the STRING output from exec, the
second should point to the INTEGER exit code.
Restart Nagios and SNMP daemons to apply new configuration.
