Hi there, I would like to test if zope is running using nagios. I would be gratefull if somebody could could point me to some info how to best do this. I am especially interested to learn what to test to detect a running but not responding zope. Just looking up a page seems not to do the trick. thanks robert

As far as I'm concerned, a not responding Zope and a not running Zope are the same thing. check_http with the Zope port (and other necessary parameters) works fine for me. You could write a custom check that does whatever you want (including checking the logs or zopectl), but I think that's more trouble than it's worth. -- Ron

Looking up the page, and getting a timeout would be a good indicator, I should think. Anyway, we use a little nagios plugin from Gocept, get it from their SVN at: http://svn.gocept.com/repos/gocept/ZNagios/trunk/ (viewcvs view at: http://svn.gocept.com/viewcvs/ZNagios/trunk/) It let's us also monitor database size, reference count and the error log. -- Martijn Pieters
