have issue with check_http

[helmi1987]

Hello jjethwa

very cool docker image. is it possible to update the nagios plugins?
in the docker is the version from check_http with the version number "check_http v2.2 (monitoring-plugins 2.2)"

this version have not the command "--continue-after-certificate" inside and so we must make 2 checks for ssl and response.

in the newer version is it inside.

very much thanks from my site for your great work

greetings helmi1987

Hi @helmi1987

Thanks so much, really appreciate it 😃

The image pulls the check packages from the standard repo:

icinga2/Dockerfile

Lines 73 to 77 in c0dfb83

	monitoring-plugins \
	nagios-nrpe-plugin \
	nagios-plugins-contrib \
	nagios-snmp-plugins \
	libmonitoring-plugin-perl \

It looks like those are out of date. I can't find anything besides a source code download here: https://nagios-plugins.org/downloads/

I think it might be best to request an update to Debian package so everyone downstream like us can get it?

In the interim, you can include the updated checks via a volume. What do you think?

HI @helmi1987

Did a bit more research on this and Icinga2 recommends using the checks from Monitoring Plugins: https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/ (reference: https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-2/latest/doc/02-installation/01-Debian/ )

Their check_http plugin does not have the functionality you are looking for unfortunately: https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/man/check_http.html

I think requesting the functionality from them will be the way forward as we'll automatically get it when their package is updated: https://github.com/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins/issues/new

Hi @helmi1987

Do you know if they released the updated package? I saw the commits, but could not tell about the package.

[helmi1987]

Helo @jjethwa

in the news release was it not included.
i have make a test ( compile it insite the docker ;-))

apt update
apt upgrade
apt install git automake autoconf gettext gcc

#make new directory
git clone https://github.com/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins.git
cd monitoring-plugins
./tools/setup
./configure -prefix=/user/local --with-cgiurl=/usr/lib/nagios/custom-plugins/test/plugins --with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl 
make
make install
make install-root

after this steps was the plugin work.

i have ask when it will include in the monitoring-plugin package. i think we must wait for the next release

That's great news, @helmi1987 Once they release the new package, I just need to trigger a new image build and we'll be good to go. Thanks so much for following up 👍
