1Nagios Plugins Quick-and-Dirty Installation Instructions
2--------------------------------------------------------
3
40) If using the CVS tree, you need m4, automake, and autoconf. To
5 start out, run:
6
7 # autoconf
8 # autoheader
9 # automake
10
11 or you can run ./tools/setup
12
13 Currently we are only supporting autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4p5. Support
14 for the latest autoconf and automake are in the works.
15
16
171) Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile, etc.
18
19 ./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-nagios-user=SOMEUSER --with-nagios-group=SOMEGROUP --with-cgiurl=SOMEURL
20
21 a) Replace BASEDIRECTORY with the path of the directory under which Nagios
22 is installed (default is '/usr/local/nagios')
23 b) Replace SOMEUSER with the name of a user on your system that will be
24 assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
25 c) Replace SOMEGRP with the name of a group on your system that will be
26 assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
27 d) Replace CGIURL with the path used to access the Nagios CGIs with
28 a web browser (default is '/nagios/cgi-bin')
29
30
312) Compile the plugins with the following command:
32
33 make all
34
35
363) Install the compiled plugins and plugin scripts with the following command:
37
38 make install
39
40 NOTE:
41 The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugins in a
42 'libexec/' subdirectory in the base directory you specified with
43 the --prefix argument to the configure script.
44
45
464) Verify that your host configuration file (hosts.cfg) for Nagios contains
47 the correct paths to the new plugins.
