Description
***********
This document introduces the best practices in the development of "centreon-plugins".
As all plugins are written in Perl, “there is more than on way to do it”.
But to not reinvent the wheel, you should first take a look at the “example” directory, you will get an overview of how to build your own plugin and associated modes.
The lastest version is available on following git repository: http://git.centreon.com/centreon-plugins.git
***********
Quick Start
***********
------------------
Directory creation
------------------
First of all, you need to create a directory on the git to store the new plugin.
Root directories are organized by section :
* Application : apps
* Database : database
* Hardware : hardware
* network equipment : network
* Operating System : os
* Storage equipment : storage
According to the monitored object, there exists an organization which can use :
* Type
* Constructor
* Model
* Monitoring Protocol
For example, if you want to add a plugin to monitor Linux by SNMP, you need to create this directory :
::
mkdir -p os/linux/snmp
You also need to create a "mode" directory for futures modes :
::
mkdir os/linux/snmp/mode
---------------
Plugin creation
---------------
Once the directory is created, create the plugin file inside it :
::
touch plugin.pm
Then, edit plugin.pm to add **license terms** by copying it from an other plugin. Don't forget to put your name at the end of it :
::
# ...
# Authors : <your name> <<your email>>
Next, describe your **package** name : it matches your plugin directory.
::
package path::to::plugin;
Declare used libraries (**strict** and **warnings** are mandatory). Centreon libraries are described later :
::
use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw(**centreon_library**);
The plugin need a **new** function to instantiate the object :
::
sub new {
my ($class, %options) = @_;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new(package => __PACKAGE__, %options);
bless $self, $class;
...
return $self;
}
Plugin version must be declared in the **new** function :
::
$self->{version} = '0.1';
Several modes can be declared in the **new** function :
::
%{$self->{modes}} = (
'mode1' => '<plugin_path>::mode::mode1',
'mode2' => '<plugin_path>::mode::mode2',
...
);
Then, Declare the module :
::
1;
A description of the plugin is needed to generate the documentation :
::
__END__
=head1 PLUGIN DESCRIPTION
<Add a plugin description here>.
=cut
.. tip::
you can copy-paste an other plugin.pm and adapt some lines (package, arguments...).
.. tip::
plugin has ".pm" extension because it's a perl module. So don't forget to add **1;** at then end of the file
-------------
Mode creation
-------------
Once **plugin.pm** is created and modes are declared in it, create modes in the **mode directory** :
::
cd mode
touch mode1.pm
Then, edit mode1.pm to add **license terms** by copying it from an other plugin. Don't forget to put your name at the end of it :
::
# ...
# Authors : <your name> <<your email>>
Next, describe your **package** name : it matches your mode directory.
::
package path::to::plugin::mode::mode1;
Declare used libraries (always the same) :
::
use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw(centreon::plugins::mode);
The mode need a **new** function to instantiate the object :
::
sub new {
my ($class, %options) = @_;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new(package => __PACKAGE__, %options);
bless $self, $class;
...
return $self;
}
Mode version must be declared in the **new** function :
::
$self->{version} = '1.0';
Several options can be declared in the **new** function :
::
$options{options}->add_options(arguments =>
{
"option1:s" => { name => 'option1' },
"option2:s" => { name => 'option2', default => 'value1' },
"option3" => { name => 'option3' },
});
This the description of arguments of this example :
* option1 : String value
* option2 : String value with default value "value1"
* option3 : Boolean value
.. tip::
You can have more informations about options format here : http://perldoc.perl.org/Getopt/Long.html
The mode need a **check_options** function to validate options :
::
sub check_options {
my ($self, %options) = @_;
$self->SUPER::init(%options);
...
}
For example, Warning and Critical thresholds must be validate in **check_options** function :
::
if (($self->{perfdata}->threshold_validate(label => 'warning', value => $self->{option_results}->{warning})) == 0) {
$self->{output}->add_option_msg(short_msg => "Wrong warning threshold '" . $self->{option_results}->{warning} . "'.");
$self->{output}->option_exit();
}
if (($self->{perfdata}->threshold_validate(label => 'critical', value => $self->{option_results}->{critical})) == 0) {
$self->{output}->add_option_msg(short_msg => "Wrong critical threshold '" . $self->{option_results}->{critical} . "'.");
$self->{output}->option_exit();
}
In this example, help is printed if thresholds have not a correct format.
Then comes the **run** function, where you perform measurement, check thresholds, display output and format perfdatas.
This is an example to check a snmp value :
::
sub run {
my ($self, %options) = @_;
$self->{snmp} = $options{snmp};
$self->{hostname} = $self->{snmp}->get_hostname();
my $result = $self->{snmp}->get_leef(oids => [$self->{option_results}->{oid}], nothing_quit => 1);
my $value = $result->{$self->{option_results}->{oid}};
my $exit = $self->{perfdata}->threshold_check(value => $value,
threshold => [ { label => 'critical', 'exit_litteral' => 'critical' }, { label => 'warning', exit_litteral => 'warning' } ]);
$self->{output}->output_add(severity => $exit,
short_msg => sprintf("SNMP Value is %s.", $value));
$self->{output}->perfdata_add(label => 'value', unit => undef,
value => $value,
warning => $self->{perfdata}->get_perfdata_for_output(label => 'warning'),
critical => $self->{perfdata}->get_perfdata_for_output(label => 'critical'),
min => undef, max => undef);
$self->{output}->display();
$self->{output}->exit();
}
In this example, we check a snmp OID that we compare to wargning and critical thresholds.
There are the function which we use :
* get_leef : get a snmp value from an OID
* threshold_check : compare snmp value to warning and critical thresholds
* output_add : add output
* perfdata_add : add perfdata to output
* display : display output
* exit : exit
Then, declare the module :
::
1;
A description of the mode and its arguments is needed to generate the documentation :
::
__END__
=head1 PLUGIN DESCRIPTION
<Add a plugin description here>.
=cut
---------------
Commit and push
---------------
Before commit the plugin, you need to create an **enhancement ticket** on the centreon-plugins forge : http://forge.centreon.com/projects/centreon-plugins
Once plugin and modes are developed, you can commit and push your work :
::
git add path/to/plugin
git commit -m "Add new plugin for XXXX refs #<ticked_id>"
git push
