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.

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 (

@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?
