How Do I install the Nagios check_snmp Plugin?
Solution 1:
This is in the nagios-plugins-standard
package. I'd suggest installing the nagios-plugins
package, as that will install it, as well as the nagios-plugins-basic
package:
sudo apt-get install nagios-plugins
Then, your SNMP plugin will be available in:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp
Solution 2:
On your monitoring server:
sudo apt-get install nagios-plugins
All standarded plugins will be installed in
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
Not in
/usr/lib/nagios3/
Please see Nagios - Official Ubuntu Documentation in the section of "Configuration Overview"
Then in
/etc/nagios-plugins/config/
you will find snap.cfg, which assigns each command_line a correspondent command_name.
For example
define command{
command_name snmp_load
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -C '$ARG1$' -o .$
}
