With this kind of check you can't really determine if the database is really up and running, let's just say for instance if in your aliases.conf (the file in firebird which holds an alias which then points to the database filename), you have an alias which points to a database file that doesn't exist anymore, you would still get a response from the Firebird Server via telnet but if you would try to connect to the that specific database you would get an error. We 've also tried fbexport which relies on a library called ipbb which we couldn't get to compile. Therefore they asked me if I could write a plugin for nagios which would do a real check to ensure that the Databases are up and running, here is my result. Full Story |
