Hello, I work on it?

You may if you like :)

check_http is only base, if it should be extensive, not a problem.

That looks pretty good, just a few comments:

• Instead of just adding nagios-plugins-http to be installed on all clients, can you add a task that just installs it specifically on mailman01?
  Look in that same ansible/roles/nagios_client/tasks/main.yml role where we install just a few things on proxies for example.

• can you make it just one patch with all the changes?

Thanks for working on this!

Done.

ok, that looks pretty good, except one thing I just noticed.

This is a REST interface, not http, so I don't think check_http is going to work for us here. We may need a specific to mailman script. :(

http://wiki.list.org/DEV/REST%20Interface

adding abompard here to comment on what we might check here to confirm that the rest api is up and processing normally.

It just was not enough to detect a keyword from a REST URL using check_http?

The problem is that the whole API is protected byt HTTP basic auth. I'll see if I can add a 'heartbeat' endpoint that would not be protected, in the meantime check_http should work I think.

check_http can also use http basic auth. Could you add user and password to http pasword file?

Where did we leave this?

Can we use check_http with basic auth? or just use check_http and see that its up?

I'll pick up where this was left off.

I'm not sure where we ended up here. We should setup a check, but I am not sure what nagios check makes most sense.

@abompard Is there a non authed end point we could check?

Failing that I guess we could just see that it's asking for auth and call that "up"?

Unfortunately everything is authed, so I guess checking for a 401 is the best we can do.

ok. done in current ansible.
