How can I install the plugin check_linux_stats in Debian or Ubuntu?
Answer Copied
Besides the plugin itself, you will need to install the following packages to meet the dependencies: -
- nagios-nrpe-server
- nagios-plugins
- libsys-statistics-linux-perl
sudo apt-get install nagios-nrpe-server nagios-plugins libsys-statistics-linux-perl
When the dependencies are met, the plugin can be copied to the folder /usr/lib/nagios/plugins and executed via the NRPE agent.
Some example commands that can be configured on the Ubuntu/Debian host and called from OP5 Monitor with the name of the command[name] via the check_command “check_nrpe”.
Thresholds are just examples and should be adjusted to reflect the configuration of the server.
