module_tcpcheck on linux agents?

[opike]

Windows agents can use module_tcpcheck and I tried using the same module with a linux agent but it doesn't seem to be recognized. Just want to confirm if module_tcpcheck is available with linux agents and if not, what is the equivalent that people generally implement?

I ended up developing a perl script that writes a success/fail flag to stdout.

Can you share this script?

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$command="ping -c 1 ".$ARGV[0]." 1>out 2>error ";

system($command);

open(INFILE, "out") or die "Cannot open out: $!.\n";

$success=0;

while(my $line = <INFILE>)
{

        if ($line =~ m/1 received/)
        {
                $success=1;
        }
}
print $success."\n";

close INFILE;

Hi opike,

This module is only available for windows agents, don't works for Linux agents.

Thanks for the script.

Cheers.
