Meet The New Nagios Core Services Platform

Built on over 25 years of monitoring experience, the Nagios Core Services Platform provides insightful monitoring dashboards, time-saving monitoring wizards, and unmatched ease of use. Use it for free indefinitely.

Monitoring Made Magically Better

  • Nagios Core on Overdrive
  • Powerful Monitoring Dashboards
  • Time-Saving Configuration Wizards
  • Open Source Powered Monitoring On Steroids
  • And So Much More!
This is a plugin to monitor failed login attempts in RedHat/CentOS servers.
This plugin is ment to run in the monitoring target host, so you will need another plugin, like NRPE, installed and configured in your environment.

Example usage:
check_failed_logins.sh -w 5 -c 10
This will check for failed login attempts and return a warning when 5 to 9 attempts fail and a critical when 10 or more attempts fail.

SETUP (with NRPE, with other plugin should be a similar process):
1.- Copy the plugin to the RedHat server you want to monitor.
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_failed_logins_rh.sh
2.- Define an entry in nrpe.cfg:
command[check_failed_logins]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_failed_logins_rh.sh -w 5 -c 10 2>&1
3.- Restart NRPE service.
4.- Create a command in nagios:
define command {
command_name check_failed_logins_rh
command_line $USER1$/check_failed_logins_rh.sh -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
