Java plug-in

[joaquin]

Hello, I am new to the forum, I greet all.

I would like to know how to develop a plug-in in Java. Also useful are guidelines set up, tutorials or other material.

Thanks to all

Plugins can be developed in any language including java as long as they can be run from the command line, return a proper exit code and print the output you desire.

Here is link to a plugin developers guide

Command type: java -jar MyPlugin.jar localhost serviceA serviceB

I'm not sure if this is a question or an example...

It 's an example.

Ok, got it, then that would be close, for the command definition you would likely want to include the full path to java as well as the full path to your .jar file, like:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/java -jar $USER1$/MyPlugin.jar localhost serviceA serviceB

Notice I used the macro $USER1$ which by default in XI will be replaced with your plugin path ( /usr/local/nagios/libexec ) however you could just put the full path in there as well.

Finally you need to make sure the nagios user has access to your .jar file.

Thanks!!

No problem. This all of course assumes you have the JRE or JDK installed
