icinga2-joomla-update

Allows for using Icinga to monitor whether a Joomla installation requires updates. I was looking for an Icinga plugin for monitoring our Joomla installations, but could not really find any plugins that matched our requirements. This repository is pretty much an extension of this blog post with the shell script and inspiration from Nagios-WordPress-Update.

Installation Instructions

• Upload the joomla-version.php at the root of your Joomla installation
• Adapt the $allowed_ips variable to fit your needs
• Copy the check-joomla-update.sh to you nagios plugins folder
• Create a service command template
• Create a service check on your host

Command Template

define command {
	command_name    check_joomla_update
	command_line    $USER1$/check-joomla-update.sh $ARG1$
}

Service Check

define service {
	use                     generic-service
	host_name               example.com
	service_description     My Joomla Installation
	check_command           check_joomla_update!http://example.com/joomla-version.php
}

Inspired from Nagios-WordPress-Update and pregos blog.
