+A collection of Nagios Plugins I've written for production unix environments.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A few of the scripts like check_service.sh and check_volume.sh are designed to
|
|
|
+be run in heterogenous unix environments and should work on Linux, OSX, AIX, and
|
|
|
+the BSD's provided a bash or bash-compatible shell to interpret them.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+One way to run the plugins requiring elevated privileges is to
|
|
|
+configure sudo on each monitored machine to allow the nagios
|
|
|
+user to execute the plug-ins in the plug-in directory as root:
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+$ visudo # Use visudo to edit the sudoers file , or :
|
|
|
+$ echo ’Defaults:nagios !requiretty ’ >> /etc/sudoers
|
|
|
+$ echo ’nagios ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/local/nagios/libexec/∗’ >> /etc/sudoers
|
|
|
+```
