Plugin with .cfg files

[danielheaton]

Hi all

I've downnloaded a plugin for my Nagios XI instance from here (https://github.com/riskersen/Monitoring) specifically the Fortigate plugin, check_fortigate.pl.

In the directory is a .pl file, a .mib, and a couple of .cfg files.

I've imported the PL as a plugin, the MIB as MIBs, but not sure what to do with the .cfg - are these to be imported in Core Config Manager > Import Config? Or do they go elsewhere? Or should these commands be appended to the existing /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but didn't want to kill anything by chucking them into etc if they're not supposed to go there!

Also I appreciate this is a 3rd party plugin, my question is about where .cfg files for plugins go in general, not specific to this plugin.

Cheers

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Glad you asked - I can't speak to that particular plugin but we do have a couple of knowledge base articles on the subject of importing configuration files:

Hope these are useful.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Keith
