How to "compile" the check_nwc_health script.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1) Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile, etc.
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-nagios-user=SOMEUSER --with-nagios-group=SOMEGROUP --with-perl=PATH_TO_PERL
|
|
|
|
a) Replace BASEDIRECTORY with the path of the directory under which Nagios
|
|
is installed (default is '/usr/local/nagios')
|
|
b) Replace SOMEUSER with the name of a user on your system that will be
|
|
assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
|
|
c) Replace SOMEGRP with the name of a group on your system that will be
|
|
assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
|
|
d) Replace PATH_TO_PERL with the path where a perl binary can be found.
|
|
Besides the system wide perl you might have installed a private perl
|
|
just for the nagios plugins (default is the perl in your path).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) "Compile" the plugin with the following command:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
This will produce a "check_nwc_health" script. You will also find
|
|
a "check_nwc_health.pl" which you better ignore. It is the base for
|
|
the compilation filled with placeholders. These will be replaced during
|
|
the make process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Install the compiled plugin script with the following command:
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugin in a
|
|
'libexec/' subdirectory in the base directory you specified with
|
|
the --prefix argument to the configure script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Verify that your configuration files for Nagios contains
|
|
the correct paths to the new plugin.
|

Command line parameters
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
You'll find the command line parameters on the website mentioned above.
|
|
If it does not exist or is not up to date, this means that i hadn't the
|
|
time to write/update it yet. I am aware of it, so please don't send me
|
|
mails. Just accept it.
