Jan Wagner df53473d03 check_dig: patch to make dig honor -t option 
When a timeout value is specified with the -t option, dig will sometimes
timeout before the timer is actually reached.

The problem occurs because the check_dig plugin does not pass the specified
timeout value to dig, leaving dig to timeout with it's default value which
seems to be around 10-15seconds.

To reproduce:
time ./check_dig -H 127.0.0.2 -l www.google.com -t 30

It will not run for 30secs, which is the expected behaviour.

The following will work, because the timeout is less than the default dig
timeout, so the plugin cancels the dig command:
time ./check_dig -H 127.0.0.2 -l www.google.com -t 2

This fix passes the timeout value to dig, and sets the number of retries which tends to vary from system to system by default.

Closes #1168

README.md

Monitoring Plugins

  • For instructions on installing these plugins for use with your monitoring system, see below. In addition, generic instructions for the GNU toolchain can be found in the INSTALL file.

  • For major changes between releases, read the NEWS file.

  • For information on detailed changes that have been made or plugins that have been added, read the ChangeLog file.

  • Some plugins require that you have additional programs and/or libraries installed on your system before they can be used. Plugins that are dependent on other programs/libraries that are missing are usually not compiled. Read the REQUIREMENTS file for more information.

  • Individual plugins are self-documenting. All plugins that comply with the basic guidelines for development will provide detailed help when invoked with the -h or --help options.

You can check for the latest plugins at:

Send an email to help@monitoring-plugins.org for assistance. Please include the OS type and version that you are using. Also, run the plugin with the -vvv option and provide the resulting version information. Of course, there may be additional diagnostic information required as well. Use good judgment.

Send an email to devel@monitoring-plugins.org for developer discussions.

For patch submissions and bug reports, please use the appropriate resources at:

Installation Instructions

  1. If you are using the Git tree, you will need m4, gettext, automake, and autoconf. To start out, run:

    ./tools/setup

    For more detail, see the developer guidelines at https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html.

  2. Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile, etc.

    ./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-cgiurl=SOMEURL

    Replace BASEDIRECTORY with the path of the directory under which your monitoring system is installed (default is /usr/local), and replace SOMEURL with the path used to access the monitoring system CGIs with a web browser (default is /nagios/cgi-bin).

  3. Compile the plugins with the following command:

    make

  4. Install the compiled plugins and plugin scripts with the following command:

    make install

    The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugins in a libexec/ subdirectory in the base directory you specified with the --prefix argument to the configure script.

  5. There are some plugins that require setuid. If you run make install as a non-root user, they will not be installed. To install, switch to root and run:

    make install-root

That's it! If you have any problems or questions, feel free to send an email to help@monitoring-plugins.org.
