Nagios-WordPress-Update

A Nagios plugin to check for WordPress version updates on a remote server without the use of NRPE.

How to use:

• Upload wp-version.php to your WordPress root installation
• Include the IP address of your Nagios installation in the script
• Copy check_wp_update to your Nagios plugins folder. For me, it's on /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
• Create a service command template
• Create a service check on your host

Command Template

define command{
        command_name    check_wp_update
        command_line    $USER1$/check_wp_update $ARG1$
        }

Service Check

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               example.com
        service_description     My WordPress Install
        check_command           check_wp_update!http://example.com/wp-version.php
        }
