nagios-plugins cfg files not created

Installed from source multiple times and still have no .cfg files for plugins. Anyone experience this issue before?

What kind of config are you looking for? The plugins package does not contain additional configurations, and as far as I know anything like this would come with your nagios core installation.

Here's a snippet from another install. These config files are missing on the problematic install:

Was this other install done on the same OS? Was it installed from source or repo?

I too am having this trouble. Did you ever get resolution on this? I know it is an old thread but it matches my problem to the t. I tried installing from source as well as yum. Centos 6.8 system.

The OP has not logged in since April of 2014, so I doubt he is going to see this.

What steps did you take to perform the install? Can you post the exact commands/steps?

Take a look at this page - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Source.pdf

Specifically the part about plugins, you'll need to compile them from the /tmp/ directory.

So the fact that I compiled them from a diff directory (I chose /root/download), will break this process?

It shouldn't matter. Did you run 'make' and 'make install'? Did your compiler fail during the process? I just tested this on a blank machine as an example, and it worked fine.

I have those. If you refer to the 3rd post, that is what is missing. I have the executables but lack the .cfg files. What you posted is not the issue here. And to answer your question, I followed the pdf that was mentioned to the t (minus where I downloaded and compiled from which I wouldn't think mattered).

It doesn't really matter at this point as I found out that I could define the commands I need in the same .cfg file that define the services (or put them wherever I want for that matter). Its just that all of the documentation out there shows .cfg files in the directory of the 3rd post.

Thank you for trying to help.
