Nagios Support Forum

Hi,, i wnat to monitor Docker the Plugin [on nagios exchange] showing it"ll work with Python 3 only so how to update python?

or can i do with python 2.6 which is auto installed with nagios XI.

Can you provide a direct link to the plugin?

I don't think the mainstream repositories available in CentOS and RHEL are distributing Python 3 as of right now. Here's a good guide for building Python 3 from scratch (it's not too tricky):

Note that this will create python3 and pip3 commands. You should adjust the plugin's shebang if necessary.

I suspect that Python 3 needs to be on the remote system, not XI. The direct link as @mcapra suggests would be useful.

Please note that most of the plugins on the exchange are contributed by third parties.

Let me try I"ll update you.

Fantastic. Please post the link to the plugin or attach the plugin if you run into any difficulty.
