Thanks so my question is where does plugins go and how to install them?

In Nagios Core it all depends on how you installed Nagios.. The plugins directory varies based on how you installed Nagios and the operating system.

if you can find the resources.cfg file the location is usually listed next to $USER1$ in that file.

you will need to place it there and mark it executable.

then you will have to create the host definition, command definition (after testing your plugin from the command line to verify it works with your system.

Finally the service definition for each thing you want to check.

could you please make a simple step by step process guide to get at least one of the service working from the beginning its very confusing really appreciate it and it would help me out alot.

We have a bunch of these guides for Nagios XI, but it is much easier to use

For Nagios Core the full documentation and guides can be found here

Before you worry about Nagios configurations you need to make sure the plugin runs from the command line first.

This plugin was recommended:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... us/details

It has command examples on how it works.

Download the plugin to your Nagios Core server, probably into /usr/local/nagios/libexec/

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/h ... t-531.html

Then make it executable:

chmod +x /usr/local/nagios/libexec/

Test it, this command assumes your device is configured for SNMP v2 using a community called public:
What does that output?

Ok I will check that please stand by thanks so much.

We'll keep this open for you.

Thank you

I get permission denied.
