sk83520 how to check connectivity to CP

[Kaspars_Zibarts]

One of Dameon Welch Abernathy‌ favorite SKs  mine too.  I'm sure most have already written own check scripts, but if you have been too busy you may use this one. Output will look like this:

If needed you may chuck in --proxy <your proxy> option into curl_cli command.  Just didn't want to make it too complex - this is just a quick fix to verify HTTP/S connectivity towards various CP servers in seconds.

FYI, I noticed that "push.checkpoint.com" returns 403 Forbidden, so I left it as "NOK" for now - script will only accept 200 OK, 301 Moved and 302 Found as valid response

As you will notice, you can add your own URLs to be checked at the bottom if you wish. 

#!/bin/bash
check_url () {
 result=" [ NOK ]"
 name="$2 "
 while [ ${#name} -lt 74 ]; do name="$name."; done
 echo -en "$name "
 if [ `curl_cli -Lisk $1 | head -1 | egrep -c "1.1 200|OK|Found|Moved"` -gt 0 ]; then result=" [ OK ]"; fi
 echo $result
}

There's a reason this is one of my favorite SKs: I believe I originated it

Hi,

how do you know 200 OK is necessarily means the service is ok ?

I mean what if http is 200 but XML returns service error or something ?

also, using grep on 'Found' prints OK also for 404 Not Found so you need to change your if statement to something like this:

if [ `curl_cli -Lisk $1 | head -1 | egrep "OK|Found|Moved" | egrep -c -v "Not Found"` -gt 0 ]; then result=" [ OK ]"; fi
echo $result

but i still found some FP using this script, see TE response for example which the script returns OK for it.

I think if you get ANY response from it, you have connectivity (which is the main point of the SK).

If the services themselves aren't working, that's a different issue

[Oren_Nudelman]

IMO, the OK here is abused since you get OK for both 403 and 404 so it's not so reliable.

if the tool is checking http level it should print http status code and reason instead of ok.

but that's just me... 🙂

[PhoneBoy]

A more consistent status code would be an improvement, I agree.

[Oren_Nudelman]

try this code, i added check to last HTTP response and if it's not 200 it print error with status code

#!/bin/bash
check_url () {
result=" [ ERROR ]"
name="$2 "
while [ ${#name} -lt 74 ]; do name="$name."; done
echo -en "$name "
response=$(curl_cli -LiskI $1 | grep "HTTP/1.1" | awk 'END { print }')
status=$(echo "${response}" | awk 'END { print $2 " " $3 " " $4}')
status_code=$(echo ${response} | awk '{ print $2 }')
if [ "${status_code}" != "200" ]; then
echo "${result} - Got HTTP ${status_code}"
else result=" [ OK ]"
echo "${result}"
fi
}

Hi,

when using the script I get some NOK (IPS, Contract Entitlement...) unless I put in --cacert $CPDIR/conf/ca-bundle.crt as argument of curl_cli command (more in sk110779).

[Luis_Miguel_Mig]

I have just noticed that the proxy configured in the GAIA is not in expert mode environment variables. Should it be?

[Billy]

Hi,

I have updated the script and add the missing checks on github

https://github.com/billygr/CheckPoint/blob/master/sk83520.sh

Pending proxy support and view 404 errors because i don't have the exact URL to check

You can easy run it on the gw/mgmt without copy paste etc etc 

Have fun
