Nagios Plugins README
---------------------
* 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.
* For a list of outstanding bugs for this release, see the BUGS file.
* 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:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/
Send mail to nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net 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 mail to nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net for developer discussions.
For patch submissions and bug reports, please use the appropriate resources at
https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins/. Also, please include
version information for your OS and the plugin(s) your are patching/reporting.
Nagios Plugins Quick-and-Dirty Installation Instructions
--------------------------------------------------------
0) 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
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html.
1) Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile, etc.
./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-cgiurl=SOMEURL
a) Replace BASEDIRECTORY with the path of the directory under which Nagios
is installed (default is '/usr/local/nagios')
b) 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
3) 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.
4) 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 send mail
to nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net
