Can i use newest plugins with Older Nagios Install?

[FTL]

Hi,

Im running Nagios 3.4.1 and 1.4.16 plugins on Ubuntu 12.04

Is it safe and ok to use the newest 2.1.1 plugins with Nagios 3.4.1 please?

TIA

Yes, and the three commands you previously had listed should be all you need as long as your plugins install path is /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ -- otherwise, you may need to change the configure directory to match your current setup.

Thanks.

Installed and check_snmp now works

That is part of the beauty of Nagios: The core Nagios functionality is separate from the plugins. As long as the plugins follow the rules (https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... inapi.html) then they will always work.

@eloyd is right. Having things be so interchangeable like this creates a product with an endless reach.

Are we good to mark this thread as resolved @FTL?
