Instead, Nagios relies on external programs (called +plugins) to do all the dirty work. Plugins are compiled executables or +scripts (Perl scripts, shell scripts, etc.) that can be run from a +command line to check the status or a host or service. + +Remember to install the Nagios::Plugin perl module and its +dependencies to ensure all functionality of perl plugins. + +Remember to install the applications you plan to use plugins with +before installation of nagios-plugins as some plugins are compiled +using the relevant libraries installed on your system for the +application being probed. |
