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.
* 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://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/>
Send an email 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 an email 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>.
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
<http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-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`).
* Replace `CGIURL` 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 <nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net>.
