some time ago, I was looking for a plugin for nagios that let me check Domain Names .es, for Spain, but all plugins cannot check this kind of domain names.

So, I decided to create new one. It’s very easy to use, it’s like check_domain plugin:

check_domain_es – v%s

Copyright (c) 2011 Juan Pedro Escalona Rueda <jpescalona@otioti.com> under GPL License

This plugin checks the expiration date of a domain name.

Usage: check_domain_es -h | -d <domain> [-c <critical>] [-w <warning>]

NOTE: -d must be specified

-h: Print detailed help

-d: domain name to check

-w: Response time to result in warning status (days). 30 days by default

-c: Response time to result in critical status (days). 7 days by default

This plugin will use whois service to get the expiration date for the domain name.

Example:

check_domain_es.py -d iavante.es -w 30 -c 10
