Scripts Plugin

canaryd can execute scripts uploaded to your servers, normally located in the /etc/canaryd/scripts/available directory. These scripts follow the same rules as Nagios & Sensu scripts:

• Exit code 1 generates a warning issue
• Exit codes 2+ generate a critical issue

Any output from the scripts will be used as the issue description. It is highly recommended to use a configuration management tool such as pyinfra or Ansible to distribute scripts across your infrastructure.

Enable & disable scripts

canaryctl can be used to manage scripts:

# List scripts
canaryctl scripts

# Enable a script
canaryctl scripts enable <script_name.ext>

# Disable a script
canaryctl scripts disable <script_name.ext>
