Importing new cutom config files

[MSPk]

Hi,

We are trying to monitor a dominos server parameters dead mail and pending mail, fortunately we have found some plugins as well. Now we are trying to configure these plugins into nagios. I have gone through the nagios admin guide to see the process of importing the config files into nagios which isn't clear. Can some help me with the process of configuring these plugins into nagios so as to see the cfg files in the list of files that can be imported into nagios sucessfully.

Can you maybe post the configs that you have so far, and also what plugin you're trying to use?

Hi,

Please find the link below which has the cfg files i'm refering to (See lotus-commands.cfg and lotus-services.cfg).

most of the commands use check_snmp plugin, others include check_tcp and lotus plugins available in nagios exchnage website.

Also, is it possible that I can import commands that are relevent to our environment(we are jus monitoring the deadmail and pending mail queue's)

Thank you

Are you talking about importing these configs into Nagios XI, or using them in Nagios Core?

I want to import them into nagios xi

From reviewing your configs, there doesn't appear to be any reason why you couldn't import those configs into XI using our documented method in the Admin manual. Just make sure you've also copied over the check plugins to the /usr/local/nagios/libexec directory, and from the looks of it you'll need to add the $USER2$ macro to your resource.cfg file.

$user2$ macro is already defined to path /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers

Another thing i have noticed now in the cfg file lotus-services is the use of the plugin/command check_snmp_proc, I have checked on my nagios server and dont find this plugin, instead we have check_snmp_process. Also, in the commnds cfg file there is no command defined for check_snmp_proc. Can you please suggest if we can replace check_snmp_proc with check_snmp_process in the services config file to acheive the desired results i.e. to check if a service is up and running.

I guess I would start by checking on exchange.nagios.org and see if you can find that exact plugin that you had before. With thousands of community plugins out there, I don't really know if that's the same plugin or if it will work the same. If you had those plugins on a previous Nagios server, I would just copy them over from that machine.

well, this is the cfg files I found over the web while trying to find a plugin to monitor lotus notes parameters

My guess would be that the command is referring to using the plugins from the page you referenced.

You would need to create new commands for them...

You will be somewhat on your own as these are 3rd party plugins and we do not have a notes server to test against..
