Nagios::Plugin::WWW::MUsernContributed Perl DNagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize(3)NAMENagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize - Login to a web page as a user and get
data as a Nagios plugin
SYNOPSIS
use Nagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize;
$np = Nagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize->new(
usage => "Checks number of mailing list users"
);
$np->getopts;
$np->get( "http://lists.opsview.org/lists/admin/opsview-users/members" );
$np->submit_form( form_name => "f", fields => { adminpw => "****" } );
$content = $np->content;
($number_of_users) = ($content =~ /(\d+) members total/);
$np->nagios_exit( CRITICAL, "Cannot get number of users" ) unless defined $number_of_users;
$np->add_perfdata(
label => "users",
value => $number_of_users,
);
$np->nagios_exit(
OK,
"Number of mailing list users: $number_of_users"
);
DESCRIPTION
This module ties Nagios::Plugin with WWW::Mechanize so that there's
less code in your perl script and the most common work is done for you.
For example, the plugin will automatically call nagios_exit(CRITICAL,
...) if a page is unavailable or a submit_form fails. The plugin will
also keep a track of the time for responses from the remote web server
and output that as performance data.
INITIALISE
Nagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize->new( %opts )
Takes %opts. If $opts{mech} is specified and is an object, will
check if it is a WWW::Mechanize object and die if not. If
$opts{mech} is a hash ref, will pass those to a
WWW::Mechanize->new() call. Will create a WWW::Mechanize object
with autocheck => 0, otherwise any failures are exited immediately.
Also looks for $opts{include_time}. Defaults to 1 which means that
performance data for time will be returned.
All other options are passed to Nagios::Plugin.
METHODS
mech
Returns the WWW::Mechanize object
get( @args )
Calls $self->mech->get( @args ). If $self->include_time is set,
will start a timer before the get, calculate the duration, and adds
it to a total timer.
If the mech->get call failed, will call nagios_exit with a CRITICAL
error.
Returns the value from mech->get.
submit_form( @args )
Similar to get.
content
Shortcut for $self->mech->content.
nagios_exit
Override to add performance data for time if required
