Plugin check_em1.pl is not available after upload.

Post by espint »

I need the check_em1 plugin to monitor my Sensatronics environmental device, like I do in Nagios Core. I downloaded the plugin zip file, and uploaded the plugin for which I got a successful installation. In the manage plugins list, the check_em1.pl is listed, but when I try to add a service, check_em1 does not appear in the 'check command' drop down list. I have notice that in the manage plugins list, check_em1.pl is the only plugin with the owner and group set to apache. All other plugins are root or nagios. Any help getting the Sensatronics device monitored would be greatly appreciated. :mrgreen:

You still have to define a check command through the Core Config Manager->Commands page before it will show up in the dropdown list. Take a look at one of the other check commands as an example as to how to define a new check command. Let us know if you hit snags or need more detail on this.

Thanks again! Some how I missed that part. Once I looked at the other commands on the commands page, it all became clear. Thank you! :D
