From 7b0fa5d642466e7cdd0d326658c3c06c27f8a1ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Holger Weiss Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2014 17:38:18 +0100 Subject: Import most FAQ items from old web site Import most of the FAQ entries from our old web site. A few outdated questions have been omitted, many of the imported ones were updated in one way or another, and the order of the development-related questions has been changed. Also, the phrasing of some questions has been modified (just to make the headings shorter). For the record, this is the original list of questions from the old web site: General ------- * Who controls the Nagios Plugins project? * What license is Nagios Plugins distributed under? * Who owns the copyright for the Nagios Plugin code? * Can I submit a patch to this project? * Do you accept donations? Compiling --------- * ./configure appears to hang * check_ldap, check_radius or check_pgsql don't compile even though configure output says the required libraries are present * How come check_http/check_tcp doesn't work with --ssl? * How do I compile the Nagios::Plugin perl module? * I can't compile check_mysql on solaris * I get '":types" is not exported by the Params::Validate module' when running tests * Why does Solaris use pst3 for check_procs? Installing ---------- * Some of the root plugins (check_dhcp and check_icmp) haven't been installed. What's happening? * Why aren't my plugins installed as the nagios user? And what about root plugins? Development ----------- * How do I use Git? * Can I add extra tests to the C routines? * Can I use the Nagios Plugins in my own project? * How can I find out more about writing a plugin? * How do I make changes on nagiosmib? * How do I prove the C routines work? * How do I use and update Gnulib? * How do I use the Nagios::Plugin perl module? * How do the test parameters in NPTest.pm work? * Private C APIs --- web/input/doc/faq/index.md | 62 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 61 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'web/input/doc/faq/index.md') diff --git a/web/input/doc/faq/index.md b/web/input/doc/faq/index.md index 18584f2..35f6e75 100644 --- a/web/input/doc/faq/index.md +++ b/web/input/doc/faq/index.md @@ -4,6 +4,66 @@ parent: Documentation # FAQ -The list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) will come back soon. +This is a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) regarding the Nagios +Plugins. + +## General + +* [Who controls the Nagios Plugins project?][control] +* [What license is the code distributed under?][license] +* [Can I submit a patch?][contribute] +* [Do you accept donations?][donations] + +## Compiling + +* [How do I compile the plugins?][compilation] +* [The configure script appears to hang][configure-hangs] +* [Why doesn't the --ssl option work?][ssl] +* [How do I build the Nagios::Plugin module?][build-perl-module] +* [Building check\_mysql fails on Solaris][mixing-compilers] +* [Why use pst3 for check\_procs on Solaris?][ps-on-solaris] + +## Installing + +* [How do I install the plugins?][installation] +* [Why aren't the root plugins installed?][root-plugins] +* [Which user owns the installed plugins?][ownership] + +## Development + +* [How do I use Git?][git] +* [How should a plugin be written?][guidelines] +* [Private C APIs][c-apis] +* [How do I prove the C routines work?][libtap] +* [Can I add extra tests to the C routines?][extra-tests] +* [How do the NPTest parameters work?][nptest] +* [How do I use and update Gnulib?][gnulib] +* [How do I use the Nagios::Plugin module?][use-perl-module] +* [How do I modify NagiosMIB?][nagiosmib] +* [Can I use Nagios Plugins in my project?][reuse] + +[control]: doc/faq/control.html +[license]: doc/faq/license.html +[contribute]: doc/faq/contribute.html +[donations]: doc/faq/donations.html +[compilation]: doc/faq/compilation.html +[configure-hangs]: doc/faq/configure-hangs.html +[ssl]: doc/faq/ssl.html +[build-perl-module]: doc/faq/build-perl-module.html +[mixing-compilers]: doc/faq/mixing-compilers.html +[ps-on-solaris]: doc/faq/ps-on-solaris.html +[installation]: doc/faq/installation.html +[root-plugins]: doc/faq/root-plugins.html +[ownership]: doc/faq/ownership.html +[git]: doc/faq/git.html +[guidelines]: doc/faq/guidelines.html +[c-apis]: doc/faq/private-c-api.html +[libtap]: doc/faq/libtap.html +[extra-tests]: doc/faq/extra-tests.html +[nptest]: doc/faq/nptest.html +[gnulib]: doc/faq/gnulib.html +[use-perl-module]: doc/faq/use-perl-module.html +[nagiosmib]: doc/faq/nagiosmib.html +[reuse]: doc/faq/reuse.html -- cgit v1.2.3-74-g34f1
