-Q: I'm using Redhat Linux (or some other RPM-based distribution).
|
|
|
- Which packages should I install?
|
|

|
|
|
-A: The package monitoring-plugins-<version>.<arch>.rpm contains only
|
|
|
- those plugins that should work on any POSIX compliant system. In
|
|
|
- other words, you should be able to install this package on your
|
|
|
- system, no matter what else is or in not installed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- However, most of us have more complex systems than barebones
|
|
|
- POSIX. We tried creating a variety of separate packages so
|
|
|
- each dependency could be installed cleanly, but many people
|
|
|
- found that this resulted in too many packages. So in the end,
|
|
|
- all the non-POSIX plugins were folded into one RPM
|
|
|
- (monitoring-plugins-<version>.<arch>.rpm). Most people will need to
|
|
|
- use RPM's '--nodeps' option to install this package.

-Q: My system uses the .deb package format. What packages should I
|
|
|
- install?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-A: We strive for cooperation between all packagers and developers.
|
|
|
- The answers for .deb are the same as for RPM, after changing the
|
|
|
- package name suffixes accordingly.

-Q: I prefer to build my own RPMs. Do I need to install all of the
|
|
|
- various dependencies?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-A: Beginning with the 1.2.9-1 release, you may run
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- rpm --define 'custom 1' -ta monitoring-plugins-<release>.tar.gz
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- In prior releases, you must unpack the tarball and build the
|
|
|
- RPM using monitoring-custom.spec with 'rpm -ba'.
