Hopefully this question makes sense. I am still new to Nagios and I am trying to install the Nagios Business Process Intelligence (BPI) from here:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... 29/details
I have a Nagios core install so my nagios directory is /usr/local/nagios/ where do I put the folder for the plugins so that I can go to my <siteurl>/nagios/nagiosbpi?

From the INSTALL file:

-Execute the permissions script as the root user:

Place it in the web directory of Nagios Core, which is either /usr/local/nagios or /usr/local/nagios/share/
Let us know if that doesn't work and we'll get you up and running.

@mguthrie (and Imitchev)
Thanks for your help. Placing the folder in /usr/local/nagios/share/ worked!
