FAQ: "Update" instead of "Migration"
Most users just "update" from our previous releases, they don't
"migrate" from another project.

5 | # How do I update to Monitoring Plugins? | ||
6 | |||
7 | If you installed the [Nagios Plugins][nagios-plugins] package in the past and | ||
8 | now plan to update to a Monitoring Plugins release, you should check whether | ||
9 | your operating system vendor provides an official package. If no such package | ||
10 | exists, you might have to [install the Monitoring Plugins from | ||
11 | source][compiling]. | ||
12 | |||
13 | You must then make sure the new plugins are found by your monitoring | ||
14 | application. While the Nagios Plugins were usually installed into the | ||
15 | directory `/usr/local/nagios/libexec` when built from the source tarball, the | ||
16 | Monitoring Plugins are by default installed to `/usr/local/libexec`. You can | ||
17 | change this by specifying the `--prefix` option when calling the `./configure` | ||
18 | script. For example, the following commands would install the Monitoring | ||
19 | Plugins into the old location: | ||
20 | |||
21 | $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios | ||
22 | $ make | ||
23 | $ su root -c 'make install' | ||
24 | |||
25 | If you prefer the new location (`/usr/local/libexec`), you must adjust your | ||
26 | monitoring application's configuration instead. The details obviously depend | ||
27 | on the software you're using. If in doubt, you will probably find the right | ||
28 | place(s) to modify by searching your configuration for the old pathname, e.g.: | ||
29 | |||
30 | $ grep -r /usr/local/nagios /etc | ||
31 | |||
