Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am using Nagios in AWS and I need to install the following files on my server...

check_cloudwatch_status.rb: The ruby script that retrieve the metric from AWS EC2, ELB or RDS.
check_cloudwatch_status.cfg: The definition of the nagios command.
sample_service.cfg: Sample of use for retrieving CPU usage of an instance on Amazon EC2.
encrypt_credentials.rb: Ruby script that encrypts Amazon Web Services Credentials.

I have already downloaded the files but now need a clear document explaining how this is done?

I believe that i need to install Ruby & RubyGems too??

Regards,
Cossy

Those aren't our plugins, so you'll need to give us links for us to be more specific, but in general https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf should explain how to manage plugins.
