Mac OS X Monitoring Tools

A collection of scripts and tools to assist in monitoring Mac OS X and essential services with Nagios.

Overviews and use cases for a lot of these can be found in posts at my site: http://jedda.me

Some of the features of these scripts include:

• Checking the currency of backups with Time Machine, CrashPlan, and Carbon Copy Cloner
• Checking memory utilization on Mac OS X
• Checking SMC sensors (temperatures/fans) on Apple hardware
• Checking the health of Open Directory masters and replicas on Mac OS X Server
• Checking Open Directory binding & authentication
• Checking the status of tasks scheduled or executed by launchd
• Checking certificate expiry on Mac OS X Server
• Checking DHCP & Software Update services on Mac OS X Server
• Checking Kerio Connect statistics & performance data
• Native (no perl, no python) file age check
• Notify via popular notifications platforms Boxcar & Pushover
• & more!

These scripts and tools were specifically designed to be dependency free, so in the case of all but one or two, they will run on a stock Mac OS X client/server system from 10.4+ onwards. Most of them are pure BASH, with a few Obj-C exceptions that will need to be compiled prior to use.

Support & Feedback:

The project's Issues Tracker is the best place to let me know of any specific issues or bugs that you find. I am more than happy to chat about ideas on integrating these scripts into your environment - feel free to send me an email ([email protected]), or contact me with iMessage or AIM ([email protected]).
