Extended Nagios Example

This example is an extended version of the Nagios/Icinga project. It is extended by the usage of a Motion Detector Bricklet and a Segment Display 4x7 Bricklet.

With the extended script you can display if there is an error occurred and can detect motion in the server room. The script can be used as a starting point for your own projects.

Extended Script

The small script, called check_tf_temp_ext.py, uses the following interface:

usage: check_tf_temp_ext.py [-h] -u UID -t
                           {temp,ptc,motion_detector,segment_display_4x7}
                           [-H HOST] [-P PORT] [-m {none,high,low,range}]
                           [-w WARNING] [-c CRITICAL] [-w2 WARNING2]
                           [-c2 CRITICAL2] [-e {true,false}]

optional arguments:
 -h, --help            show this help message and exit
 -u UID, --uid UID     UID from Bricklet
 -t {temp,ptc,motion_detector,segment_display_4x7}, --type {temp,ptc,motion_detector,segment_display_4x7}
                       Choose fitting type for your Bricklet
 -H HOST, --host HOST  Host Server (default=localhost)
 -P PORT, --port PORT  Port (default=4223)
 -m {none,high,low,range}, --modus {none,high,low,range}
                       Modus: none (default, only print temperature), high,
                       low or range
 -w WARNING, --warning WARNING
                       Warning temperature level (temperatures above this
                       level will trigger a warning message in high mode,
                       temperature below this level will trigger a warning
                       message in low mode)
 -c CRITICAL, --critical CRITICAL
                       Critical temperature level (temperatures above this
                       level will trigger a critical message in high mode,
                       temperature below this level will trigger a critical
                       message in low mode)
 -w2 WARNING2, --warning2 WARNING2
                       Warning temperature level (temperatures below this
                       level will trigger a warning message in range mode)
 -c2 CRITICAL2, --critical2 CRITICAL2
                       Critical temperature level (temperatures below this
                       level will trigger a critical message in range mode)
 -e {true,false}, --error {true,false}
                       Set Error Message on 4x7 Segment On/Off

The interface is extended in comparison to the check_tf_temp.py script.

You can write "Err" on the Segment Display 4x7 Bricklet by

python check_tf_temp_ext.py -u 9VU -H ServerMonitoring -t segment_display_4x7 -e true

and disable it with

python check_tf_temp_ext.py -u 9VU -H ServerMonitoring -t segment_display_4x7 -e false

With the Motion Detector Bricklet you can get information if motion was detected by running

python check_tf_temp_ext.py -H ServerMonitoring -u abc -t motion_detector

The full script looks like this:
