Check systemd service status if running or dead

[Doesthiswork]

I am currently looking for a way to check if a service is running on a host.

Nagios has a script that checks with SNMP if a service is running or is dead. Process Checks

Is that possible to integrate something similar? People offered already a way to check if a service is running via ssh and a shell script but nagios showed that it should be possible via SNMP.

Yes you can use SNMP extend to do this

Here is a way of doing it:

Snmp_extend.py - servcie checks using SNMP extend

This is perhaps more documentation focused. I’ve found this script invaluable: It has been very easy to augment a given host with service checks using this script placed on the librenms server. I don’t recall seeing anything like this documented. The given nagios check script is called by SNMP.conf on the client hosts and accessed from the librenms server using the aforementioned script.

On the client I use these:

GitHub - ds-04/monitoring_scripts: monitoring scripts, e.g. nagios compatible

Do you need the snmp_extend.py on the LibreNMS Server and the monitoring script on the client or is the snmp_extend enough?

yes, snmp_extend.py on the LibreNMS Server …

… and script to check service on client and client configuration correct in client’s snmpd config file (simple snmp extend line to call the service monitoring script)

The “snmp agent” exports a process list that will show in the web ui. Although it may be hard alert on.
