Monitoring Script

This script allows monitoring IPFire from a client by predefined queries via SSH Console on the IPFire. This requires a small connection script on the client side and the query script on the IPFire side.

This script may be used, extended and supplemented. Thanks again to ummeegge for his work!

What is queried

Homepage	execution
iftop	iftop
libstatgrab	saidar -c
bwm-ng	bwm-ng
htop	htop
tcpick	tcpick -i red0 -C

SSH and Monitoring Script

The monitoring script was exemplarily saved on /mnt/mo_scripts/ directory. The script needs to be made executable.

SSH Client Script

This script must be stored on the client side.

filename = monstat.sh

#!/bin/bash -

##  Fun in the joy script                                                     ##
##  Open SSH session and call ipfire monitoring script                                    ##
## ummeegge & 5p9 29.03.13, incor. IPFire
####

ssh -p 222 -t root@IP-IPfire /mnt/mo_scripts/network_info.sh

You have to change the IP of IPFire and the path of the monitoring script. After depositing or creation the script must be still made executable:

chmod +x monstat.sh

Monitoring Script

Put this script on the IPFire.

filename = network_info.sh

#!/bin/bash -

After dropping / creating the script must be made executable:

chmod +x network_info.sh
