help printing output of shell script

[raggmopp]

Hi all:

I'm running RHEL5.5 and nagios 3.2.0. The real question deals with how to change the printed output so nagios will work with it.

I have made a script that will calculate network throughput on interfaces. The script is going through and finding all interfaces (eth, bond, lan) and doing the math to calculate throughput.

The script;
#!/bin/bash

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/etc
export PATH

#set -xv

declare -a int
i=0
j=0

/bin/netstat -i | awk '/eth/ || /bond/ || /lan/' | awk '{print $1, $4, $5, $6, $8, $9, $10}' > /tmp/traf_cnt1
sleep 5
/bin/netstat -i | awk '/eth/ || /bond/ || /lan/' | awk '{print $1, $4, $5, $6, $8, $9, $10}' > /tmp/traf_cnt2

for INT in `cat /tmp/traf_cnt1| awk '/^eth/ || /^bond/ || /lan/' | awk '{print $1}'`
do
int=$INT
i=$((i+1))
done

while [ $j -lt $i ]
do
set `cat /tmp/traf_cnt1| grep ${int[$j]}`
INT=$1
RXOK1=$2
RXERR1=$3
RXDRP1=$4
TXOK1=$5
TXERR1=$6
TXDRP1=$7

set `cat /tmp/traf_cnt2 | grep ${int[$j]}`
INT=$1
RXOK2=$2
RXERR2=$3
RXDRP2=$4
TXOK2=$5
TXERR2=$6 #echo "${int[$j]}"

RXOK3=`expr ${RXOK2} - ${RXOK1}`
RXOK=`expr ${RXOK3} \* 12`
TXOK3=`expr ${TXOK2} - ${TXOK1}`
TXOK=`expr ${TXOK3} \* 12`

echo "${int[$j]} Packets receive=$RXOK, transmit=$TXOK: Error receive=$RXERR2, transmit=$TXERR2: Dropped receive=$RXDRP2, transmit=$TXDRP2 | $RXOK;;;; $TXOK;;;; $RXERR2;;;; $TXERR2;;;; $RXDRP2;;;; $TXDRP2;;;; "

j=$((j+1))

done


If I run from command line, all looks good. See below
bond0 Packets receive=276, transmit=144: Error receive=0, transmit=0: Dropped receive=0, transmit=0 | 276;;;; 144;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;;
eth0 Packets receive=252, transmit=144: Error receive=0, transmit=0: Dropped receive=0, transmit=0 | 252;;;; 144;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;;
eth1 Packets receive=24, transmit=0: Error receive=0, transmit=0: Dropped receive=0, transmit=0 | 24;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;;

But I need this to work within nagios.

I need the print output to look like;
bond0 Packets receive=276, transmit=144: Error receive=0, transmit=0: Dropped receive=0, transmit=0 eth0 Packets receive=252, transmit=144: Error receive=0, transmit=0: Dropped receive=0, transmit=0 eth1 Packets receive=24, transmit=0: Error receive=0, transmit=0: Dropped receive=0, transmit=0 | bond0=276;;;; 144;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; eth0=252;;;; 144;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; eth1=24;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;; 0;;;;

The output is mainly for nagios to report and trend the values. As nagios wants to see nothing but perf data after the '|' character, I somehow need to have only one '|' character for all of the output.

Many thanks!

Instead of echo-ing inside the [tt]while do done[/tt] loop, build your output in a variables. After the loop is [tt]done[/tt], print out the variables...

out1=''
out2=''
while ...
do
 ...
 out1="${out1} ${int[j]} ...name=value pairs..."
 out2="${out2} ...numbers&semicolons..."
 ((j=j+1))
done

echo "${out1} | ${out2}"

HTH,
