Open Fusion Nagios Plugins

by karlkatzke on September 6th, 2007

I really, really like the check_yum plugin. Here’s a link: http://www.openfusion.com.au/labs/nagios.

If you’re installing on CentOS, you’re going to want to

yum install elinks

, then run cpan as root and install

install Nagios::Plugin

… after that, you can install and add to your nagios command config. I usually run it in NRPE on remote hosts.

From → centos, linux, sysadmin

    How did you install the GPG-Key to validate the RPM?
    I downloaded the RPM from nagiosexchange.org but a “yum install nagios-of-plugins-0.9.4-1.of.noarch.rpm” failed. (On Cent OS 5)
    The error message was:
    “warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 2a6b914a

    Public key for nagios-of-plugins-0.9.4-1.of.noarch.rpm is not installed”

    I wasn’t able to find the GPG Key on any Keyserver.
    So I extracted the scripts and put them manually into /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/.
