Configure Nagios

Put a line like this in your nagios plugin configuration to make the plugin available:

command[check_zope]=/path/to/check_zope.py -H $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ -d $ARG3$
-r $ARG4$ -a $ARG5$

Put a line like this in your nagios host configuration to use the:

service[maggie]=Zope;0;24x7;10;5;5;gocept;10;24x7;1;1;1;;check_zope!localhost!8080!50000000!10000!admin:password

Configure Nagios

To get the correct command configuration for “check_zope”, copy the zope.cfg into your plugin config directory (debian: /usr/share/nagios/pluginconfig) or the commands.cfg in /etc/nagios/.

Then you can make use of the check_zope command for services:

define service{
            use                     generic-service
            host_name               thezopehost
            service_description     Zope
            check_command           check_zope!thezopehost!8080!1000000000!500000!admin:password
}

Configure Munin

/etc/munin/plugins/zope_<graph>_<server-index>[_<dbname>]

eg:
/etc/munin/plugins/zope_uptime_instance1
/etc/munin/plugins/zope_uptime_instance2
/etc/munin/plugins/zope_activity_instance1_db2

/etc/munin/plugins/zeo_<graph>_<server-index>[_<storage>]

/etc/munin/plugins/zeo_clients_ZEO1
/etc/munin/plugins/zeo_clients_ZEO1_1
/etc/munin/plugins/zeo_loadstores_ZEO1_temp
