Checking ldapsearch and ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -Z -x in nagios

Question

Basically I just want to ensure whether

ldapsearch

and

ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -Z -x

I did some check_ldap command and it's fine but I specially want to verify ldapsearch and ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -Z -x which I am unable to find anything regarding to that in google.

Thanks

It would be helpful if you wrote what exactly you tried that didn't work. Please read [How to ask better questions on Serverfault](http://meta.serverfault.com/questions/3608/how-can-i-ask-better-questions-on-server-fault) — Sven, Jul 10 '15 at 20:18

Post the actual commands you typed and what you hoped to get from them — TheFiddlerWins, Jul 10 '15 at 20:33

Nagios uses similar return codes to the shell, if you write a script and it exits with the appropriate error code & string (OK, WARN etc) you are set - just abstract the actual commands with a shell script, add that as a plugin and you're done. See the Nagios Plugins guidelines for more information.

Thanks. I think i know how to go from here. I thought it will be a one line thing. – hunkeelin Jul 10 '15 at 20:54
You have to do two at least (the command and the check definition), ideally you do 3 (plugin, command and check definition) so you can make it reusable – TheFiddlerWins Jul 10 '15 at 20:57

The stock check_ldap does a search when it connects. See check_ldap --help or the online docs, specifically the -a option. By default, it searches "(objectclass=*)", but you can change this.
