Can't you just configure nagios to do a "negative match" against numFound=0 ? ... ie: "if response matches 'numFound=0' fail the check."

E.g. I'd run a query '?q=FOO:BAR&rows=0' : and check if "numFound" > 0, that'd tell me if the reload succeeded. : : The check is done using nagios curl plugin, and while it can match a string in : the response, the "> 0" check would require writing an extra parser -- it's a : simple enough two-liner, but I'd rather not add more moving pieces if I can : help it. : : The best I can figure so far is : ``` : fl=result:if(gt(docfreq(FOO,BAR),0)"YES","NO")&rows=1 : ``` : -- returns '"result":"NO"' that our nagios plugin can look for. : : Is there a better/simpler way? : : TIA : Dima : -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
