check_systemd_status

This is a script that will check the systemd(1) status by parsing the output of systemctl(1). It will signal warning (1) and/or critical (2) conditions via the exit code when the system - as perceived by systemd - it not (yet) in optimal (i.e. running) state.

This can, for instance, be used as a simple Nagios / Icinga check in order to monitor the overall system status.

USAGE

This script can be invoked without any additional arguments. It will, in return invoke systemctl and parse its output. The --systemctl-path argument can be used to specify a location to the systemctl binary explicitly, in case it is not within $PATH.

EXIT CODES

This plugin will exit with codes that are compliant with the typical Nagios / Icinga (2) convention. More specifically it will indicate a warning state when there are queued jobs and a critical state when there are failed units. In case of failure (i.e. systemctl not being available), it will indicate an unknown situation. Otherwise ok is being returned.
