check_pcmeasure.py

Nagios/Icinga2 Plugin for https://messpc.de/ and https://pcmeasure.com Ethernet Boxes written in Python 3

An implementation for Perl already exists: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Environmental/MessPC--2F-pcmeasure/details

... but is not maintained.

So I decided to implement it's functionality in Python.

There is no warranty for a 100% compatibility to the old plugin, but requests for adaptions and error reports are always welcome.

How to use it

Example commandline

root@icinga-agent01:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_pcmeasure.py -H 10.10.200.250 -S com1.1 -w 45 -c 55 -l 'celsius'
OK: 27.8 celsius | celsius=27.8

Config files:

• copy `check_pcmeasure.py' to your Nagios/Icinga plugin folder
• define a command:

  define command{
  command_name       check_pcmeasure
  command_line       $USER1$/check_pcmeasure.py -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -S $ARG3 -l $ARG4
  }

• define a service

  define service{
  use                     generic-service
  host_name               pcmeasure.example.com
  service_description     temperature sensor
  check_command           check_pcmeasure!28!30!com1.1!celsius
  }
