DESCRIPTION

       This program is a Nagios plugin that uses the JSON over HTTP API to check that all shovels
       of the given RabbitMQ host are running.  The default settings match the standard
       installation of RabbitMQ.

       The check returns "OK" if all shovels are running, "WARNING" if one or more shovels are
       blocked, "CRITICAL" if one or more shovels are terminated.

EXAMPLES

       With default settings, only the hostname need to be specified:

           check_rabbitmq_shovels -H <host>

       It prints the global status and the details of the shovels, by decreasing order or
       criticity:

           RABBITMQ_SHOVELS OK - 3 running shovels: klonk zlott swish

           RABBITMQ_SHOVELS WARNING - 1 blocked shovel: klonk, 2 running shovels: zlott swish

           RABBITMQ_SHOVELS CRITICAL - 1 terminated shovel: zlott, 1 blocked shovel: klonk, 1 running shovel: swish

       In the case of an API error, the program will give an appropriate diagnostic:

           RABBITMQ_SHOVELS CRITICAL - API error: 401 Unauthorized

           RABBITMQ_SHOVELS CRITICAL - API error: 500 Can't connect to <host>:<port>

           RABBITMQ_SHOVELS CRITICAL - API error: could not parse JSON: malformed JSON string

           RABBITMQ_SHOVELS CRITICAL - API error: empty JSON
