Nagios Checks For MMM

I’ve written some new Nagios checks for MMM (MMM on Google Code … MMM on Launchpad). check_mmm is a part of http://code.google.com/p/check-mysql-all/, and is meant to be called locally on the MMM Monitor server (usually via NRPE). Feedback is welcome, usage is as follows:

Usage:
     check_mmm --cluster C# 

     Options:
       --cluster=    The MMM Cluster to check
       -c, --critical=
    The level at which a critical alarm is raised.
       -h, --help                Display this message and exit
       -v, --verbose             Increase verbosity level
       -V, --version             Display version information and exit
       -w, --warning             The level at which a warning is raised.

     Defaults are:

     ATTRIBUTE                  VALUE
     -------------------------- ------------------
     cluster                    No default value
     critical                   HARD_OFFLINE,REPLICATION_FAIL
     help                       FALSE
     verbose                    1 (out of 3)
     version                    FALSE
     warning                    ADMIN_OFFLINE,AWAITING_RECOVERY,REPLICATION_DELAY

VPNC Quick Install on OS X

I find myself constantly battling with Cisco VPN client on my Mac. As such, I’ve recently turned to vpnc as a replacement. VPNC is available as a Darwin Port but won’t work with a simple install.

%> sudo port install libgpg-error openssl libgcrypt tuntaposx vpnc

That’s all there is to it. The command took less than 5 minutes on my first-generation MacBook Air.
