Monitoring Plugins Requirements -------------------------- Some plugins require that you have additional programs and/or libraries installed on your system before they can be used. Plugins that are dependent on other programs/libraries that are missing are usually not compiled. Requirements for various plugins are listed below... check_ldaps, check_http --ssl, check_tcp --ssl, check_smtp --starttls - Requires openssl or gnutls libraries for SSL connections http://www.openssl.org, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls check_curl: - Requires libcurl 7.15.2 or later http://www.haxx.se - --ssl requires OpenSSL for certificate checks, otherwise libcurl must be quite new to support CURLINFO_CRETINFO with GnuTLS and NSS libraries: - 7.42.0 or newer for GnuTLS - 7.34.0 or newer for NSS GnuTLS is known to create problems on some distributions with self-signed certificate chains http://www.openssl.org, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls, http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/, other SSL implementations are currently not supported check_fping: - Requires the fping utility distributed with SATAN. Either download and install SATAN or grab the fping program from http://www.fping.com/ RPM: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=fping Note that the fping command must be setuid root to function. check_game: - Requires the qstat utility available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/qstat/ Last tested on qstat 2.3d BETA check_hpjd: - Requires the NET-SNMP package available from http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/ The snmpget binary is all that is required. check_ldap: - Requires the LDAP libraries available from http://www.openldap.org/ Lib: libldap, liblber Redhat Source: openldap-1.2.9-6.i386.rpm, openldap-devel-1.2.9-6.i386.rpm check_mysql, check_mysql_query: - Requires the MySQL libraries available from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ Lib: libmysql, libmysqlclient Redhat Source (RHEL6, YUM): mysql-devel, mysql-libs Must have mysql_config in PATH or specified with --with-mysql=DIR for DIR/bin/mysql_config check_pqsql: - Requires the PostgreSQL libraries available from http://www.postgresql.org/ check_dbi: - Requires the DBI libraries available from http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/ check_radius: - Requires the radcli library available from: http://radcli.github.io/radcli/ - As an alternative, the FreeRADIUS Client library may be used: http://freeradius.org/freeradius-client/ - As another alternative, the radiusclient-ng library may be used: http://sourceforge.net/projects/radiusclient-ng.berlios/ - This plugin also works with the original radiusclient library from ftp://ftp.cityline.net/pub/radiusclient/ RPM (rpmfind): radiusclient 0.3.2, radiusclient-devel-0.3.2 However, you probably want to use either radcli or the FreeRADIUS Client library, as both radiusclient and radiusclient-ng are unmaintained and have known issues. check_snmp: - Requires the NET-SNMP package available from http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/ check_ifstatus/check_ifoperstatus - Requires Net::SNMP perl module http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-authors/id/D/DT/DTOWN/ check_nwstat: - Requires MRTGEXT NLM for Novell Servers http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?mrtgext check_nt: - Requires NSClient to run on the NT server to monitor http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/ check_ups: - Requires Network UPS Tools (>= 1.4) to run on the server to monitor http://www.networkupstools.org/ check_ide_smart: - Uses the Linux specific SMART interface [http://smartlinux.sourceforge.net/smart/index.php]. OS Specific Issues ------------------ HP-UX 11.11 You need to use the version of gcc provided by HP at version 3.3.3. Also, you need GNU make 3.8
