# check_mk_kernel_version

check_mk plugin to monitor if running kernel mach (last) installed version

Testet with:
- FreeBSD
- Debian
- Proxmox (thanks @mdklapwijk)

check cmds for others are welcome

## cli cmds to get installed and running kernel versions
### FreeBSD:
#### running kernel

sysctl -n kern.osrelease
10.3-RELEASE-p11

#### installed kernel

freebsd-version -k
10.3-RELEASE-p11

### debian/ubuntu
#### running:

sysctl -n kernel.version | awk '{print $4}'
3.16.39-1+deb8u2

#### installed

# different kernel versions may be installed, so we need to compare
# all available versions to find the latest

# get the version of the currently running image as start
latest=$(dpkg -l | grep linux-image-$(uname -r) | awk '{print $3}')

for i in $(dpkg -l | grep linux-image-$(uname -r | cut -d '.' -f1) | awk '{print $3}')
do
dpkg --compare-versions $i gt $latest && latest=$i
done
echo $latest
3.16.39-1+deb8u2

## Install

### OMD Server Install

#### check_mk package:
```
mkp install releases/kernel_version_compare-.mkp
```

#### manually:
```
cp checks/kernel_version_compare /omd/sites/$(OMD_SITE)/local/share/check_mk/checks/
cp plugins/kernel_version_compare /omd/sites/$(OMD_SITE)/local/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/
cp packages/kernel_version_compare /omd/sites/$(OMD_SITE)/var/check_mk/packages/
```

#### use make target:
```

pkg:
pkg......................alias for package
package..................build check_mk package from installed repo files

cp plugins/kernel_version_compare /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/kernel_version_compare
```
Or download plugin from OMD Server, or rollout plugin with puppet ;-)

## DEV hints

```
# test if check is found on server
check_mk -L | grep kernel_version_compare
kernel_version_compare tcp (no man page present)

# test check on server
check_mk -v --checks=kernel_version_compare host01.example.com

Calling external program ssh -o ConnectTimeout=10 -l monitor 192.168.1.1
