The jabber check sends data and waits for a response. To get the same
with check_tcp you would need the following additional parameters (I
copied that from C code so I'm not sure if the escapes are all good):

--send="<stream:stream to=\'host\' xmlns=\'jabber:client\'
xmlns:stream=\'http://etherx.jabber.org/streams\'>\n"

--expect="<?xml version=\'1.0\'?><stream:stream
xmlns:stream=\'http://etherx.jabber.org/streams\'"

--quit="</stream:stream>\n";

--ssl

--jail


The confusion here comes from --jail which does not only remove the
output but also doesn't tell the reason of the warning. Without --jail
you would get:

TCP WARNING - Unexpected response from host/socket: <INSERT_OUTPUT_HERE>

I'll see if there's an easy fix for that.

I also see one more possible problem. Should it be CRITICAL instead of
WARNING when the output doesn't match? And do you have an external
jabber host to check against so I can make sure the send/expect rules
are right?

Thanks,

Thomas
