This is a Nagios plugin that checks SMHI (Sveriges meteorologiska och hydrologiska institut) for weather alerts. For class 1 warning, the scripts exit with a warning state, for class 2 and 3 it exit with a critical-state. In the rare cases where more than one warning is issued for the same area, the script exit with a critical state and a message that more than one warning is issued for the area.

Usage

The script only takes one argument, the area/district for which it should check for weather alerts. The district must be entered exactly as it is on the SMHI webpage. For a complete list, enter 'list' instead of a district for argument. Don't forget to quote the district in the argument, such as the below example.

check_smhiwarn.php 'Skåne län utom Österlen'

Create one instance of each district you want to monitor.
