Heya List

I've recently started on developing a nagios plugin for tor, since a cursory google search didn't come up with anything I would describe as 'comprehensive.'

Generally speaking, it works by connecting to the control port and running various commands to check the health of the server. You would either drop it on the Tor box and run it with NRPE, or on the monitoring server and open your control port to that IP.

So far I've implemented / plan to implement the following checks:

* Fetch a page through the socks port * Check if the server is hibernating * Check the current bandwidth (up and down combined) * Check the accounting values (how close to hibernation) * OR / Dir port reachable

It's in a very early stage at the moment, but I'm posting here now to ask: Are there any other checks relay operators would want to see implemented?

You can check out the code so far at https://github.com/goodvikings/tor_nagios/

Cheers
