3rd party plugins

[bgee]

Is there a standard method to install 3rd party plugins? I tried to install the well liked check_printer from http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... es/details . Since it's just a a text file, i'm not sure how to save it and how to install it properly as my attempt won't work.

The following document outlines the standard procedure for installing and testing custom plugins:

Looks like your plugin is a php file. Make it executable with:

Code: Select all

chmod +x check_printer

Place it in the directory:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec

Follow the document for the rest of the details for installation (making a command etc.)
