This plugin provides native HTTP instrumentation for monitoring and metrics collection, including: response code, JSON response, HTTP last modified, SSL expiry, and metrics via curl
.
The Sensu assets packaged from this repository are built against the Sensu ruby runtime environment. When using these assets as part of a Sensu Go resource (check, mutator or handler), make sure you include the corresponding Sensu ruby runtime asset in the list of assets needed by the resource. The current ruby-runtime assets can be found here in the Bonsai Asset Index

Assets are the best way to make use of this plugin. If you're not using an asset, please consider doing so! If you're using sensuctl 5.13 or later, you can use the following command to add the asset:
sensuctl asset add sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-http
If you're using an earlier version of sensuctl, you can download the asset definition from this project's Bonsai Asset Index page.

check-head-redirect.rb
and check-last-modified.rb
can be used in conjunction with AWS to pull configuration from a specific bucket and file.
This is helpful if you do not want to configure connection information as an argument to the sensu checks. If a bucket and key are specified that the environment the sensu check executes in has access to, or you provide an AWS key and token, the checks will pull the specified JSON file from S3 and merge the JSON config in to the current check configuration.
check-https-cert.rb
can be used to test for valid and successfully expired certs, amongst other things.

These metrics checks output equivalent metrics in graphite plaintext format.
check-curl.rb operates by calling the curl executable with arbitrary arguments
metrics-curl.rb --help
Usage: metrics-curl.rb (options)
-a, --curl_args "CURL ARGS" Additional arguments to pass to curl
-s, --scheme SCHEME Metric naming scheme, text to prepend to metric (required)
-u, --url URL valid cUrl url to connect
check-curllub.rb operators by calling into the libcurl library with arbitrary arguments.
metrics-libcurl.rb --help
Usage: metrics-libcurl.rb (options)
-d, --debug Include debug output, should not use in production.
-H, --headers JSON HTTP Request Headers as key/value JSON string
-P, --params JSON HTTP Request Parameters as key/value JSON string
-w, --warn_redirect return warning status (1) if http response redirect status encountered (3xx)
-c, --critical_http_error return critical status (2) if http response error status encountered (>= 400)
-o, --options JSON Libcurl Options as a key/value JSON string
-s, --scheme SCHEME Metric naming scheme, text to prepend to metric
-u, --url URL valid cUrl url to connect (default: http://127.0.0.1:80/)
-h, --help Show this message
Detailed Info:
This wrapper makes use of libcurl directly instead of the curl executable by way of the Typhoeus RubyGem.
You can provide additional libcurl options via the commandline using the --options argument.
Options Examples:
Follow Redirects: --options '{"followlocation": true}'
Use Proxy: --options '{proxy: "http://proxyurl.com", proxyuserpwd: "user:password"}'
Disable TLS Verification: '{"ssl_verifypeer": false}'

This check is not really geared to check all of the complexities of ssl which is why there is a separate repo and set of checks for that: https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-ssl. If you are trying to verify cert expiration you will notice that in some cases it does not do what you always expect it to do. For example it might appear that when using using -k
option you see different expiration times. This is due to the fact that when using -k
it does not check expiration of all of the certs in the chain. Rather than duplicate this behavior in this check use the other repo where we handle those more complicated ssl checks better. For more information see: https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-http/issues/67
