Linux Downtime Script 0.3 (Perl)
Hi together,
it was for a long time on my TODO-list to update the nagios_downtime.pl which I created in beginning of ’06. Some month ago Andurin made a small update and saved it as version 0.2 to the original destination of the script. Now I worked on the script for several hours to add some features:
- Added SSL support (for HTTPS Crypt::SSLeay is needed)
- Added date format selection via new config value $nagiosDateFormat
- Added some basic response handling of response code and content
Hope these new features will be helpful for anyody out there? Here now the script in version 0.3a:
Update: The Nagios downtime scripts are now placed at the nagios_downtime project page on NagiosForge.
Have fun using this script. Please report ideas, problems or bugs. Some ways to submit them: here via comment, via mail or via post in German Nagios Forum.

Hello!
Thanks for the script, it works great for our servers (a mix of Fedora Core 1 and 4, running nagios 2.0b3) after a minor modification:
The script sends the date as “mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss” for the us version, and the command script doesn’t like the nonnumerical characters, causing the submitted time to be the max 32bit int (4294967295), so nothing is ever scheduled.
Replacing the “-” and ” ” characters with their hex (%) equivalents in the dates (“-” = “%2F” and ” ” = “%20″) makes this work:
Thanks!

Hi, do you know of a script that can connect to the web interface to determine the status of a host/service? I’m looking for something similar to what you’ve written, and simply returns Nagios-style exit codes.
Thanks in advance.

Which language do you need? For what do you want to use the script?
If you use the NDO database you could get the state directly from the DB.

It can be in any language, but preferably in Perl. I require this script as I’ll be doing environmental monitoring in Nagios. This will then allow certain machines to determine if certain temperature checks have exceeded a fixed threshold by logging onto the Nagios web interface (via a script that I’m asking for), and if so, shutdown a number of machines and do other operations.

Thank you very much for this! I’ve been looking for something like this to schedule downtimes without having to log into the web interface. Much obliged.

Will the script work with Nagios version 3.0.5? I tried it out and keep getting “HTTP Response code 4xx says “client error” (401)”

I getting the same error and I’ve found out that in the nagios.cfg file, the date_format was set to iso8601 and the nagios_downtime script was using “us”. I updated the script, and but still didn’t work.
Nagios version: 3.2
./nagios_downtime -m add -t 2010-05-15 00:05:00 -S nagiosserver -p /nagios/cgi-bin -u testuser -P ****** -H hostname
