check_ripe_atlas_probe

A plugin to monitor the connection state of your RIPE Atlas probe. This plugin provides no performance data. It uses the public RIPE Atlas API.

Please don't put too much stress on the API. A call every 30 minute is enough!

Installation

You need go (golang) to compile or run. After installing go you can run:

go run check_ripe_atlas_probe.go --probe 34088

Or compile it:

go build check_ripe_atlas_probe.go

You should then have a binary called check_ripe_atlas_probe. If you want to cross-compile it append a GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 before the compile command to compile it for a 64bit linux. Usefull/Needed if your target arch or OS is not the one you are developing on.

Possible outputs

Output if your probe is connected:

OK - Probe 34088 ("my fancy probe") is connected since 442.3 hours

Output if your probe is not connected:

OK - Probe 34088 ("my fancy probe") is disconnected since 2 hours

Output if your probe was not found:

UNKNOWN - Status was 404 Not Found. Expected 200 OK

Integration into Icinga 2

Deploy the script into your PluginDir. Define the check command according to your Icinga 2 installation:

object CheckCommand "ripe_atlas_probe" {
    import "plugin-check-command"

    command = [ PluginDir + "/check_ripe_atlas_probe" ]

    arguments = {
        "--probe" = {
            value = "$ripe_atlas_probeid$"
            description = "The RIPE Atlas probe ID"
            required = true
        }
    }
}

Create a Service and restart Icinga 2.
