Simply check https host .
It checks if a website runs on https, without checking the certificate.

Usage:

./check_https www.example.com

Optional: port number

./check_https www.example.com 444

CHANGELOG on v0.4:

add timeout

I did try your script but it was little bit unstable.

Suddenly I have checked the check_http which is already there in the /nagios/libexec/check_http

check_http -S www.sitename.or.ip -w seconds -c seconds

-S Connect via SSL. Port defaults to 443.
-w Response time to result in warning status (seconds)
-c Response time to result in critical status (seconds)

you can add --ssl=1.2 for TLS1.2 (read help)

for example:

/usr/local//nagios/libexec/./check_http -S www.google.com -w 2 -c 5

or

/usr/local//nagios/libexec/./check_http --ssl=1.2 www.google.com -w 2 -c 5

Next

Define The Command Inside commands.cfg

define command {

command_name check_https
command_line $USER1$/check_http -S $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}

Define Service

define service {

use local-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name LOCALHOST
service_description HTTPS
check_command check_https!localhost!0.500!0.900
notifications_enabled 1
}

-w -c 0.0 accept millisecond


It's handy when you check multiple internet links either the links is up or down, sites functions, port status.

I removed ipcalc from the code and replaced it with regex, because ipcalc gave errors of missing parameters.

----- CODE -----
[...]
# Variables definition

# my PID
mypid="$$"
html_tmp="/tmp/tmp_html.$mypid"
rep_tmp="/tmp/tmp_rep.$mypid"
add_uri='https://'
end_uri='/'
PORT=''
exit_code=2
regexIPv4="^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}$"
regexIPv6=".*:.*"

[...]
# Give some brain to this script. Detect yourself if we are checking an hostname, an ipv4 or an ipv6

if [[ $1 =~ $regexIPv4 ]]
then
target=ipv4
elif [[ $1 =~ $regexIPv6 ]]; then
target=ipv6
else
# we consider here cases in which the passed argument is DNS name
target=DNS
fi
[...]
----- CODE -----
I added $path_uri so the script can check URL like https://www.example.com/WebService/Service.svc

# ./check_https www.example.com 443 WebService/Service.svc


# my PID
mypid="$$"
html_tmp="/tmp/tmp_html.$mypid"
rep_tmp="/tmp/tmp_rep.$mypid"
add_uri='https://'
path_uri=''
end_uri='/'
PORT=''
exit_code=2

if [ $# -lt 1 ]
then
echo "Arguments are missing! Run ./check_https IP_or_DNS port (optional) "
echo "Eg: ./check_https mywebsite.com"
echo "Eg: ./check_https ::ffff:192.168.1.1 444"
exit 1
fi

if [ $# -gt 1 ]
then
PORT=:$2
fi

# For https://www.example.com/WebService/Service.svc
# path_uri is WebService/Service.svc

if [ $# -gt 2 ]
then
path_uri=:$3
fi

# Give some brain to this script. Detect yourself if we are checking an hostname, an ipv4 or an ipv6


if ipcalc -sc4 $1
then
target=ipv4
else if ipcalc -sc6 $1
then
target=ipv6
else
# we consider here cases in which the passed argument is DNS name
target=DNS
fi
fi

if [ ! "$target" == "ipv6" ]
then
/usr/bin/wget --timeout=10 --no-check-certificate --output-document=$html_tmp -S $add_uri$1$PORT$end_uri$path_uri 2> $rep_tmp
else
/usr/bin/wget --timeout=10 --no-check-certificate --output-document=$html_tmp -S $add_uri[$1]$PORT$$end_uri$path_uri 2> $rep_tmp

fi
Should check ipcalc is installed.

Should redirect ipcal in error to test ip addres:

if ipcalc -sc4 $1 > /dev/null 2>&1
not
if ipcacl -sc1 $1

Works very well, just took the check_http command and modified so it would work properly!

Works good with IPv4 addresses.

With IPv6 addresses i get the error:

Generic error code.
