Overview

This is a quick nagios plugin / script to query an ESXi server and grab the "overall status" parameter. This is a parameter each host should respond to and will reflect if any alarms are active on the system. See the official documentation for more info.

This should give notice in the event of a power supply failure, memory errors, loss of connectivity to datastore, etc.

The script only requires a Hostname, but allows for the providing of both a hostname and IP address. The hostname is required to make sure that the status being returned is for the correct host (I don't trust CIM to always return the hosts inside the "hostFolder" in the same order). It is actually used to query the API for the provided string, so it must be accurate and reflect what the system thinks its hostname is. Our environment and conditions mandated this. YMMV.

Parameters

A modification to the decade-old check_multiaddr perl script so that it doesn't chop off output from the called script.

Example:

/Users/peelman/.rbenv/shims/ruby ~/bin/weather.rb --lat 38.9456155 --long -85.8804469 --key da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709

Dashing.io Widget for UnifiVideo NVR

This method uses API Key access so I suggest you setup a guest account with API access but limited (Visible and View Feed) access. Then login as the guest user, enable API access, and generate a new key. Copy the key for use.

Switch to the Devices tab and open the Configure dialog for the cam. On the Details tab, right-click the thumbnail view and Copy the image URL to the clipboard. It will look similar to the following if pasted to an address bar or text editor: http://192.168.1.105:7443//api/2.0/snapshot/camera/05a2bc63-d1ce-399f-8327-3a19b0cd3e8f?width=%d&force=true

The guid after /camera/ is what you want to use in the unifivideo.rb file.

You can setup as many cameras as you want, just add a name and UUID for each to the secrets/unifi.yml file.

##Description Simple Dashing widget (and associated job) to display general puppetdb status. Pulled the API calls from Puppetboard.

WARNING: This only works if puppetdb is listening on HTTP. I have not gotten around to getting this to work with SSL client certificates yet. If you know how, please leave them at the comments below.

	IP="10.x.x.x"

	#Look for number of received pings, if 0 received then restart OpenVPN service

	if [ $? -ne 0 ] && [ $RESULT -eq 0 ]
	then
