-w [KEY_THRESHOLD_WARNING ...], --warning [KEY_THRESHOLD_WARNING ...]
Warning threshold for these values (key1[>alias],WarnRange key2[>alias],WarnRange). WarnRange is in the format
[@]start:end, more information at nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html.
-c [KEY_THRESHOLD_CRITICAL ...], --critical [KEY_THRESHOLD_CRITICAL ...]
Critical threshold for these values (key1[>alias],CriticalRange key2[>alias],CriticalRange. CriticalRange is in
the format [@]start:end, more information at nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html.
-e [KEY_LIST ...], --key_exists [KEY_LIST ...]
Checks existence of these keys to determine status. Return warning if key is not present.
-E [KEY_LIST_CRITICAL ...], --key_exists_critical [KEY_LIST_CRITICAL ...]
Same as -e but return critical if key is not present.
-q [KEY_VALUE_LIST ...], --key_equals [KEY_VALUE_LIST ...]
Checks equality of these keys and values (key[>alias],value key2,value2) to determine status. Multiple key values
can be delimited with colon (key,value1:value2). Return warning if equality check fails
-Q [KEY_VALUE_LIST_CRITICAL ...], --key_equals_critical [KEY_VALUE_LIST_CRITICAL ...]
Same as -q but return critical if equality check fails.
--key_time [KEY_TIME_LIST ...],
Checks a Timestamp of these keys and values
(key[>alias],value key2,value2) to determine status.
Multiple key values can be delimited with colon
(key,value1:value2). Return warning if the key is older
than the value (ex.: 30s,10m,2h,3d,...).
With at it return warning if the key is jounger
than the value (ex.: @30s,@10m,@2h,@3d,...).
With Minus you can shift the time in the future.
--key_time_critical [KEY_TIME_LIST_CRITICAL ...],
Same as --key_time but return critical if
Timestamp age fails.
-u [KEY_VALUE_LIST_UNKNOWN ...], --key_equals_unknown [KEY_VALUE_LIST_UNKNOWN ...]
Same as -q but return unknown if equality check fails.
-y [KEY_VALUE_LIST_NOT ...], --key_not_equals [KEY_VALUE_LIST_NOT ...]
Checks equality of these keys and values (key[>alias],value key2,value2) to determine status. Multiple key values
can be delimited with colon (key,value1:value2). Return warning if equality check succeeds
-Y [KEY_VALUE_LIST_NOT_CRITICAL ...], --key_not_equals_critical [KEY_VALUE_LIST_NOT_CRITICAL ...]
Same as -q but return critical if equality check succeeds.
-m [METRIC_LIST ...], --key_metric [METRIC_LIST ...]
Gathers the values of these keys (key[>alias], UnitOfMeasure,WarnRange,CriticalRange,Min,Max) for Nagios
performance data. More information about Range format and units of measure for nagios can be found at nagios-
plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html Additional formats for this parameter are: (key[>alias]),
(key[>alias],UnitOfMeasure), (key[>alias],UnitOfMeasure,WarnRange, CriticalRange).
```
## Examples
### Key Naming
**Data for key** `value`:
{ "value": 1000 }
**Data for key** `capacity.value`:
{
"capacity": {
"value": 1000
}
}
**Data for key** `(0).capacity.value`:
[
{
"capacity": {
"value": 1000
}
}
]
**Data for keys of all items in a list** `(*).capacity.value`:
[
{
"capacity": {
"value": 1000
}
},
{
"capacity": {
"value": 2200
}
}
]
**Data for separator** `-f _` **and key** `(0)_gauges_jvm.buffers.direct.capacity_value`:
[
{
"gauges": {
"jvm.buffers.direct.capacity":
"value": 1000
}
}
}
]
**Data for keys** `ring_members(0)`, `ring_members(1)`, `ring_members(2)`:
{
"ring_members": [
"riak1@127.0.0.1",
"riak2@127.0.0.1",
"riak3@127.0.0.1"
]
}
### Thresholds and Ranges
**Data**:
{ "metric": 1000 }
#### Relevant Commands
* **Warning:** `./check_http_json.py -H <host>:<port> -p <path> -w "metric,RANGE"`
* **Critical:** `./check_http_json.py -H <host>:<port> -p <path> -c "metric,RANGE"`
* **Metrics with Warning:** `./check_http_json.py -H <host>:<port> -p <path> -w "metric,RANGE"`

#### Range Definitions
* **Format:** [@]START:END
* **Generates a Warning or Critical if...**
* **Value is less than 0 or greater than 1000:** `1000` or `0:1000`
* **Value is greater than or equal to 1000, or less than or equal to 0:** `@1000` or `@0:1000`
* **Value is less than 1000:** `1000:`
* **Value is greater than 1000:** `~:1000`
* **Value is greater than or equal to 1000:** `@1000:`
More info about Nagios Range format and Units of Measure can be found at [https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html](https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html).
### Timestamp

* **Critical:** `./check_http_json.py -H <host>:<port> -p <path> --key_time_critical "metric,TIME"`
#### TIME Definitions

* **Timestamp is not more than 30 minutes in the future:** `@-30m`
* **Timestamp is not more than 30 minutes in the past:** `@30m`
##### Timestamp Format
This plugin uses the Python function 'datetime.fromisoformat'.
Since Python 3.11 any valid ISO 8601 format is supported, with the following exceptions:
* Time zone offsets may have fractional seconds.
* The T separator may be replaced by any single unicode character.
* Fractional hours and minutes are not supported.
* Reduced precision dates are not currently supported (YYYY-MM, YYYY).
* Extended date representations are not currently supported (±YYYYYY-MM-DD).
* Ordinal dates are not currently supported (YYYY-OOO).
Before Python 3.11, this method only supported the format YYYY-MM-DD
More info and examples the about Timestamp Format can be found at [https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.fromisoformat](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.fromisoformat).
#### Using Headers
* `./check_http_json.py -H <host>:<port> -p <path> -A '{"content-type": "application/json"}' -w "metric,RANGE"`
## Nagios Installation
### Requirements
* Python 3.6+
### Configuration
Assuming a standard installation of Nagios, the plugin can be executed from the machine that Nagios is running on.
```bash
cp check_http_json.py /usr/local/nagios/libexec/plugins/check_http_json.py
chmod +x /usr/local/nagios/libexec/plugins/check_http_json.py
```
Add the following service definition to your server config (`localhost.cfg`):
```
define service {
use local-service
host_name localhost
service_description <command_description>
check_command <command_name>
}
```
Add the following command definition to your commands config (`commands.config`):
```
define command{
command_name <command_name>
command_line /usr/bin/python /usr/local/nagios/libexec/plugins/check_http_json.py -H <host>:<port> -p <path> [-e|-q|-w|-c <rules>] [-m <metrics>]
}
```
