+Nagios Plugins Quick-and-Dirty Installation Instructions
|
|
|
+--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+0) If using the CVS tree, you need m4, automake, and autoconf. To
|
|
|
+ start out, run:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ # autoconf
|
|
|
+ # autoheader
|
|
|
+ # automake
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ or you can run ./tools/setup
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Currently we are only supporting autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4p5. Support
|
|
|
+ for the latest autoconf and automake are in the works.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1) Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile, etc.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-nagios-user=SOMEUSER --with-nagios-group=SOMEGROUP --with-cgiurl=SOMEURL
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ a) Replace BASEDIRECTORY with the path of the directory under which Nagios
|
|
|
+ is installed (default is '/usr/local/nagios')
|
|
|
+ b) Replace SOMEUSER with the name of a user on your system that will be
|
|
|
+ assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
|
|
|
+ c) Replace SOMEGRP with the name of a group on your system that will be
|
|
|
+ assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
|
|
|
+ d) Replace CGIURL with the path used to access the Nagios CGIs with
|
|
|
+ a web browser (default is '/nagios/cgi-bin')
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2) Compile the plugins with the following command:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ make all
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+3) Install the compiled plugins and plugin scripts with the following command:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ make install
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ NOTE:
|
|
|
+ The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugins in a
|
|
|
+ 'libexec/' subdirectory in the base directory you specified with
|
|
|
+ the --prefix argument to the configure script.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+4) Verify that your host configuration file (hosts.cfg) for Nagios contains
|
|
|
+ the correct paths to the new plugins.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+That's it. If you have any problems or questions, feel free send mail
|
|
|
+to nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net or nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Please send patches and bugs to nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net and
|
|
|
+post them on http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug.
