Monitoring Rundeck's job on Nagios

[Emad Hallaq]

Hi

I am a new user in Rundeck, but I read the RunDeck User Manual. I have a job working on Rundeck, which I need to monitor on Nagios. I searched in the internet to find out a way could help me in doing that, but unfortunately I didn't find anything useful.

Is there any good guide may help in monitoring a job on Nagios.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Emad

Hi Emad,

One idea is to create a notification plugin that generates a Nagios alert if the job fails. Can you say more about the job you need to monitor? Is it scheduled, long running, etc?

Hi Alex

Thank you for your prompt reply. My job is scheduled with single execution once a day, and send a notification if it has a failure. Could you please give me more info about the plugin?

Hi Emad,

You can find developer info for notification plugins here. Besides getting an email if the job fails, how else would you like to monitor it?

Emad, Alex, 

I made a very basic Nagios plugin to monitor ther last execution of a job in /var/log/rundeck/rundeck.executions.log

You can find the plugin here:

https://github.com/willemdh/check_rundeck_job

Example how to xecute:

./check_rundeck_job.sh -P DAF -J DAF-Nagios-Apply-Schedule-Bi-Daily

Beside configuring notification on fail in job definition, another idea may be to create nagios checks querying project api endpoints and check for increased failure counts.

Seems like a good idea, but I haven't got any experience yet with the api. Could you give me an example sanitized api query and result?
