- Nagios Plugins
- ==============
- * For instructions on installing these plugins for use with Nagios,
- see below. In addition, generic instructions for the GNU toolchain can be
- found in the `INSTALL` file.
- * For major changes between releases, read the `NEWS` file.
- * For information on detailed changes that have been made or plugins
- that have been added, read the `ChangeLog` file.
- * Some plugins require that you have additional programs and/or
- libraries installed on your system before they can be used. Plugins that
- are dependent on other programs/libraries that are missing are usually not
- compiled. Read the `REQUIREMENTS` file for more information.
- * Individual plugins are self-documenting. All plugins that comply with
- the basic guidelines for development will provide detailed help when
- invoked with the `-h` or `--help` options.
- You can check for the latest plugins at:
- * <https://www.nagios-plugins.org/>
- Send an email to <help@nagios-plugins.org> for assistance. Please include
- the OS type and version that you are using. Also, run the plugin with the
- `-vvv` option and provide the resulting version information. Of course,
- there may be additional diagnostic information required as well. Use good
- judgment.
- Send an email to <devel@nagios-plugins.org> for developer discussions.
- For patch submissions and bug reports, please use the appropriate resources
- at <https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins>.
- Installation Instructions
- -------------------------
- 1. If you are using the Git tree, you will need m4, gettext, automake, and
- autoconf. To start out, run:
- ./tools/setup
- For more detail, see the developer guidelines at
- <https://www.nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html>.
- 2. Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile,
- etc.
- ./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-cgiurl=SOMEURL
- Replace `BASEDIRECTORY` with the path of the directory under which Nagios
- is installed (default is `/usr/local/nagios`), and replace `SOMEURL` with
- the path used to access the Nagios CGIs with a web browser (default is
- `/nagios/cgi-bin`).
- 3. Compile the plugins with the following command:
- make
- 4. Install the compiled plugins and plugin scripts with the following
- command:
- make install
- 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.
- 5. There are some plugins that require setuid. If you run make install as
- a non-root user, they will not be installed. To install, switch to root
- and run:
- make install-root
- That's it! If you have any problems or questions, feel free to send an
- email to <help@nagios-plugins.org>.
