Monitoring a port

S
Badge +2

Hello,

 

I want to set up a service to monitor a specific port 5643 on Centreon 21.04.2 on one of my hosts. I just need to be alerted if it is up, or down. I’ve done some search's but haven’t come up with a way to do it.

 

Anyone got any tips or suggestions for me?

 

Thanks,

Steve Arnold

Yo @sarnold02 ,

You can use the plugin apps::protocol::tcp::plugin like this:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_protocol_tcp.pl --plugin apps::protocols::tcp::plugin --mode response-time --hostname=127.0.0.1 --port=22
OK: Response time on port 22 is 0.002s | 'tcp.response.time.seconds'=0.002491s;;;0;

The plugin have a default threshold to alert you if the port is closed (see --help):

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_protocol_tcp.pl --plugin apps::protocols::tcp::plugin --mode response-time --hostname=127.0.0.1 --port=23
CRITICAL: Connection status on port 23 is failed: error=Connection refused | 'tcp.response.time.seconds'=0.001444s;;;0;

You can find the documentation here: https://docs.centreon.com/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/procedures/applications-protocol-tcp/

OK I’m a newbie and I’m working from the web interface. I think I have the right plug-in but I’m not sure how to fill in the values, here is what I have:

 

How do i fill this out?

Hello @sarnold02 ,

Do not worry, we are to help you :)

You just need to fill:

  • PORT: the port that you want to test ;
  • WARNING: warning threshold in s (if you want to get a warning if the response time is above x s). You can set up 1 for 1s for example;
  • CRITICAL: critical threshold, could be 2 ;
  • EXTRAOPTIONS: In case you want to add other options from the plugin without recreate a new command :)

So basicaly, only the port could be enough for your need.

when I run the command: 

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_protocol_tcp.pl --plugin=apps::protocols::tcp::plugin --mode=response-time --hostname='128.192.56.60' --port='443' --warning='10' --critical='60' --timeout='5'

I get the Error: -bash: /usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_protocol_tcp.pl: No such file or directory

So I guess I didn’t get The TCP Plug-in installed.

When I run: yum install centreon-plugin-Applications-Protocol-Tcp

Hola o/

I guess you may take a look to this documentation: https://docs.centreon.com/docs/security/key-rotation/#existing-installation

Let’s do something dirty and try --nogpgcheck to your yum command.
