Nagios Plugin for Cacti - External Configuration

[dp1]

Hi

I found the very usefull NPC-Addon here, thanks. There was only the thing with the hardcoded mysql-credentials...
Because I didn't like the way it was solved, I fixed it by adding a configuration file... If you like it, don't hesitate to use the source or whatever...

Inside the tar file you'll find everything you need.

Greetings

dp

BTW: I'm new here, hope it helps!

Thanks for your help

Hi

This seems clearly like a problem with the nagios sources...

Get the tarball from www.nagios.org (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nagi ... z?download)
and unpack it to a location, e.g /usr/src. Afterwards you'll have a folder /usr/src/nagios-<xxx> where you find another folder called "module". Put the inserter.c and the makefile there and run make.
-------------------
Look at the makefile and modify the path for "install" so you can run make install.
-------------------
If you use debian, do the following commands to get the sources..
cd /usr/src
apt-get source nagios2
Then you have to rename the header files from e.g. nagios.h.in to nagios.h, don't know why this is....
-------------------
You'll also need the mysql header files. Get them with `apt-get install libmysqlclient14-dev`... or just download the package from the mysql page.

If you encounter more problems, just ask or read the npc-manual. It's described there too.

Good luck.

thanks for your help i followed you instructions

i run make it went well now

Look at the makefile and modify the path for "install" so you can run make install.

in my make file i have the following

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o inserter.o inserter.c -shared -I../include -I/usr/include/mysql -lmysqlclient -fPIC

where i need to change the install path and by the way i have got inserter.o without running make install how come?

Thanks

[dp1]

fine, pleased to hear that...

the make install is not needed, just a comfort thing...

inside my tar.gz file, you find my makefile with the install declaration, usefull for development...

the .o-File you'll get anyway.

Enjoy!

[gg234]

finally i got it working thanks for your great idea and i ahve one small problem i have downloaded npc from the following link

http://forums.cacti.net/about10327-0-asc-60.html

when i click npc tab under additinal views

when i click on hostgroups and servicegroups links are not working i am missing these two .php files in my npc plugin or how to fix this problem

thanks

[dp1]

I'm missing these too... you could ask the autor. Remember, I just added the config-stuff...

Perhaps I'm gonna add something here, mostly because I think it would be helpful to have them. I tell you as soon as I have something...

[Mika2006]

Look at the makefile and modify the path for "install" so you can run make install.
