About
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
This Nagios plugin checks for available updates using PackageKit
|
|
http://packagekit.org/ on Linux systems
|
|
|
|
Why a new plugin?
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
There are already plugins out there like check_yum and check_apt which do
|
|
check for updates but they are distribution specific. The main drivers are:
|
|
|
|
* Can run unprivileged, for instance the nrpe user
|
|
* No sudo/selinux problems
|
|
* Non distribution specific, works on debian, ubuntu, fedora, centos, rhel...
|
|
|
|

$ python check_package_updates --no-longoutput --th "metric=security,critical=1..inf" --th "metric=total,warning=40..inf"
|
|
Critical - Total: 67, Security: 15, Bug fix: 48, Enhancement: 0, Normal: 4. Critical on security. Warning on total | 'total'=67;40..inf;;; 'security'=15;;1..inf;; 'bug fix'=48;;;; 'normal'=4;;;;

Caveats
|
|
=======
|
|
* PackageKit does draw in quite a few packages with it.
|
|
* Does not work on older distros, like centos/rhel 5.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
* pynag-0.4.7+
|
|
* Known to work with PackageKit 0.7.6 or later
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* Install pynag (available through your favorite package manager)
|
|
* Install PackageKit (packagekit in Debian)
|
|
|
|
```

|
|

|
|
|
|
Room for improvement
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The plugin executes pkcon instead of using the API directly. I actually gave
|
|
the API a whirl via "from gi.repository import PackageKitGlib as packagekit"
|
|
but the documentation was very lacking so I ended up with pkcon.
