ping status

madhucertify — Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:24:12 GMT

i am writing script for checking the ping status for all servers from centralized server.

i am using the below script and there is no problem in the script
---------------------------------------------------------------------

cat pingcheck.sh

for HOST in `cat /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt`
do
echo " "
ping $HOST -n 5 > /home/madhu/log/All.log

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "host $HOST not responding" > /home/madhu/log/failure.log
STAT="*Not Responding*"
else
echo "host $HOST responding" > /home/madhu/log/success.log
STAT="Responding"
fi
echo "${HOST} ${STAT}"
done
echo " "
echo " "
echo " Enter any Key:\c"
read dmy
--------------------------------------------------------------------

$ cat /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt
Netwok segment-1
host1
host2

---------------------------------------------------------------------

but I need to do few modifications as below,

we have more than 10 different network.

so we can't have 10 hostlist files --> /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt

but as per the above script,I have to use 10 different host files.

but my thought is to have something like this

$ cat /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt
[Netwok segment-1]
host1
host2
[Netwok segment-2]
host3
host4

I have to do some modification in script while refering to hostdetails.

I want to use one hostfile entry for all networks.

so when I check ping status for Netwok segment-1,script should refer only to hosts matching
to pattern [Netwok segment-1]

need help in modifying the script based on the pattern matching from referring
to single host file entry

You need to use proper indentation so you can understand your script. Also remove evil cats:

for HOST in $(< /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt); do
echo
ping $HOST -n 5 > /home/madhu/log/All.log

Your log will only have the last output, unless you append.

>$ cat /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt
Network segment-1
host1

Did you want to process this first line or skip it?

$ cat /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt
[Network segment-1]
host1
host2
[Network segment-2]
host3
host4

It would be much easier to process if you had it like:

[Network segment-1] host1
[Network segment-1] host2
[Network segment-2] host3
[Network segment-2] host4

Do you literally have "[Network segment-2]" Or some other name but with that punctuation?

But if you want to process your format you could do:

awk -v segment="Network segment-2" '

BEGIN { found = 0 }
substr($0, 1, 1) == "[" { # start of segment
   if ($0 ~ segment) {
      found = 1
      next
   }
   if (found) exit # no more
   next
}
found {
   print $0
}' /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt | while read HOST; do

echo
ping $HOST -n 5 > /home/madhu/log/All.log

...

done

Modified Script :

------------------------------------------------------------------

awk -v segment="Network segment-2" '

BEGIN { found = 0 }
substr($0, 1, 1) == "[" { # start of segment
if ($0 ~ segment) {
found = 1
next
}
if (found) exit # no more
next
}
found {
print $0
}' /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt | while read HOST; do

echo ping $HOST -n 5 > /home/madhu/log/All.log
done

----------------------------------------------------

see the below output:

$ sh -x pincheck.sh
+ awk -v segment=Network segment-2

BEGIN { found = 0 }
substr($0, 1, 1) == "[" { # start of segment
if ($0 ~ segment) {
found = 1
next
}
if (found) exit # no more
next
}
found {
print $0
} /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt
+ read HOST

*********************************************************

No log is appended to /home/madhu/log/All.log

I guess host file is not reading correctly from /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt.

>>Did you want to process this first line or skip it?

I want to skip.

there are so many Data Center and each data center has many network name.

so I have to check ping status for each network in each Data Center.

so when I am checking ping status for Data Center1 and network segment1,other hosts entry in different network

should not be taken as input from hostfile.

>>Do you literally have "[Network segment-2]" Or some other name but with that punctuation?

"[Network segment-2]"---- I gave it for Example.

originally it will be as something like IDC-Secure SER

IDC-Data Center Name

similarly I have IDC-Secure None and with other names.

I need to see a more realistic version of that file. I'm assuming there are "[" in column 1.

Re: ping status

madhucertify — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:45:01 GMT

[Network segment-1] host1
[Network segment-1] host2
[Network segment-2] host3
[Network segment-2] host4

>>I need to see a more realistic version of that file. I'm assuming there are "[" in column 1

[IDC-Secure SER] tes00101

[IDC-Secure SER] tes00201

>[IDC-Secure SER] tes00101

My original script works on your original format. Try this one:

awk -v segment="IDC-Secure SER" '

$0 ~ segment { print $NF }

' /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt | while read HOST; do
ping $HOST -n 5 > /home/madhu/log/All.log

...

Hi Dennis,

Your sugesstion worked fine.

I modified the script as below,

-------

>/home/madhu/log/Pingstatus.log
awk -v segment="IDC-Secure SER" '

$0 ~ segment { print $NF }

' /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt | while read HOST; do
ping $HOST -n 5 > /home/madhu/log/All.log

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "host $HOST not responding"
STAT="\033[41m\033[37m *Failure* \033[0m"
else
echo "host $HOST responding"
STAT="*Success*"
fi
echo "|${HOST} ${STAT}|"
echo "|${HOST} ${STAT}|" >> /home/madhu/log/pingstatus.log
done
echo " "
echo " "
echo " Enter any Key:\c"
read dmy

---------------------

above script is working fine and no problem in it .

but there is some changes in my host file enrty -> /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt

previously it was

[IDC-Secure SER] tes00101

but now as per recommendation my host file should be like as below ,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

name:details:NO:ipaddress:hostname:status:network

tes00101:prod:NO:10.01.23.45:tes00101:production:IDC-Secure SER

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as per the original script,host name should be greped based on the network area,but I also need to display the sixth field in the ouput along with the hostname and ping status.

original script output will be as similar to below

tes00101 *success*

but now,I have to make changes in the output as below,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tes00101 *success* prodction (sixth field should be taken from host entry file.

madhucertify — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 15:24:36 GMT

HI Dennis,

1.awk -F: -v network="IDC-Secure SER" '

2.$0 ~ network { print $5, $6 }

3.' /home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt | while read HOST H_STATUS; do

-->above changes worked fine.

can you explain me what you have done.

awk -F: -v network="IDC-Secure SER" '-->it will grep the filed matching with IDC-Secure SER.

$0 ~ network { print $5, $6 } ->

$0 --> it refers to the file name (/home/madhu/userdetail/hostdetails.txt)

~ -> refers to the parent dir.

but i am not sure with the second line.

Can you explain it ?

>$0 ~ network { print $5, $6 } ->

$0 is the whole line, when I didn't know your exact file format. For your new format we should use $7.

~ Is the match (ERE) operator. If you want an exact match, you can just use:

$7 == network
