Monitoring Plugins Requirements
--------------------------
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. Requirements for various plugins are listed
below...
check_ldaps, check_http --ssl, check_tcp --ssl, check_smtp --starttls
- Requires openssl or gnutls libraries for SSL connections
http://www.openssl.org, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls
check_curl:
- Requires libcurl 7.15.2 or later
http://www.haxx.se
- --ssl/-S and -C requires OpenSSL for certificate checks, otherwise
libcurl must be quite new to support CURLINFO_CERTINFO with
GnuTLS and NSS libraries:
- 7.42.0 or newer for GnuTLS
- 7.34.0 or newer for NSS
GnuTLS is known to create problems on some distributions with
self-signed certificate chains
http://www.openssl.org, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls,
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/,
other SSL implementations are currently not supported
- uriparser 0.7.5 or later
https://uriparser.github.io/
check_fping:
- Requires the fping utility distributed with SATAN. Either
download and install SATAN or grab the fping program from
http://www.fping.com/
RPM: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=fping
Note that the fping command must be setuid root to function.
check_game:
- Requires the qstat utility available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qstat/
Last tested on qstat 2.3d BETA
check_hpjd:
- Requires the NET-SNMP package available from
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/
The snmpget binary is all that is required.
check_ldap:
- Requires the LDAP libraries available from
http://www.openldap.org/
Lib: libldap, liblber
Redhat Source: openldap-1.2.9-6.i386.rpm, openldap-devel-1.2.9-6.i386.rpm
check_mysql, check_mysql_query:
- Requires the MySQL libraries available from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
Lib: libmysql, libmysqlclient
Redhat Source (RHEL6, YUM): mysql-devel, mysql-libs
Must have mysql_config in PATH or specified with --with-mysql=DIR for DIR/bin/mysql_config
check_pqsql:
- Requires the PostgreSQL libraries available from
http://www.postgresql.org/
check_dbi:
- Requires the DBI libraries available from
http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/
check_radius:
- Requires the radcli library available from:
http://radcli.github.io/radcli/
- As an alternative, the FreeRADIUS Client library may be used:
http://freeradius.org/freeradius-client/
- As another alternative, the radiusclient-ng library may be used:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/radiusclient-ng.berlios/
- This plugin also works with the original radiusclient library from
ftp://ftp.cityline.net/pub/radiusclient/
RPM (rpmfind): radiusclient 0.3.2, radiusclient-devel-0.3.2
However, you probably want to use either radcli or the FreeRADIUS
Client library, as both radiusclient and radiusclient-ng are
unmaintained and have known issues.
check_snmp:
- Requires the NET-SNMP package available from
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/
check_ifstatus/check_ifoperstatus
- Requires Net::SNMP perl module
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-authors/id/D/DT/DTOWN/
check_nwstat:
- Requires MRTGEXT NLM for Novell Servers
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?mrtgext
check_nt:
- Requires NSClient to run on the NT server to monitor
http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/
check_ups:
- Requires Network UPS Tools (>= 1.4) to run on the server to monitor
http://www.networkupstools.org/
check_ide_smart:
- Uses the Linux specific SMART interface [http://smartlinux.sourceforge.net/smart/index.php].
