Simple nagios monitoring and notification scripts.

check_ircd attempts to connect to an IRC server.

check_senderscore checks the senderscore (a metric for whether an IP address tends to send spam email) of an IP address.

ircbot.sh runs as a daemon as the nagios user, connects to the configured IRC server and channel, keeps the connection open, and relays messages from nagios to the channel.

Setting up notify_irc

Change the configuration parameters in the script itself.

Edit your nagios commands configuration (eg /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg) and define a new host and service commands that write to the file /tmp/ircmsg. For example:

    define command {
        command_name    notify-service-by-irc
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service: $SERVICEDESC$ Host: $HOSTALIAS$ Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ State: $SERVICESTATE$ Additional Info: $SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" >> /tmp/ircmsg
    }
    define command {
        command_name    notify-host-by-irc
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host: $HOSTNAME$ State: $HOSTSTATE$ Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ Info: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n" >> /tmp/ircmsg
    }

Then create a contact with parameters:

service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-irc
host_notification_commands      notify-host-by-irc

Check that the new configuration is valid:

 sudo /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

And then restart nagios with systemctl or rcctl.

Register ircbot.sh as a service with systemd or rc. (TODO: write service files for these.)
