Monitoring Splunk with Nagios

[msarro]

Hey everyone. Is anyone using Nagios to monitor their splunk instance? I've seen that there was a check_splunk plugin at one point, and I'm curious to see how people are monitoring their splunk instances now since it appears to be deprecated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I did this before I found what Luke Harris mentioned above:

It requires Perl and a standard Splunk installation (might work with a forwarder, I don't know).

Hurrican Labs released a python script for nagios monitoring of your splunk license usage, and I have included the script and a fresh dashboard in the latest version of Splunk for Nagios:

All the best,
