Topic: Nagios and 6.0.1-01

[Neririn]

Does anyone have experience compiling and running nagios on 6.0?  If so, are there any contribs/howtos that anyone has created?  In doing a search, I found http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=16988.msg88410#msg88410  but it appears that there will be no rpm.  

Basically, I only have need of information on what to install and how to compile my own for SME.  I presume it will be a g++ contrib and potentially some source for the kernel.  Can anyone send me in the right direction?  I have found some stuff on 5.x but nothing on 6.x

Thanks in advance

Hi niceguy,

since you're such a niceguy why don't you publish your work on Nagios on the wiki? That way everybody can enjoy it.

TIA

Nagios itself compiles on SME 6 (with the correct requires installed), the plugin package is what does not compile... yet

I am currently working on this.  I know one other dev from rstrat is also pursuing this, but I do not know if there has been progress.

What are the "correct requires"?  Is G++ installed in SME by default?  How about MAKE?  etc.

Hi Neririn:

The 'best' way, at least to build and share the results, is to use a RH 7.3 box with the devel packages to compile.  They do NOT come on SME in the stock install and present major security risks esp on a SME used as a web server as well as devel (not a good idea).

As far as the specific requires(from nagios.org): "System Requirements

The only requirement of running Nagios is a machine running Linux (or UNIX variant) and a C compiler. You will probably also want to have TCP/IP configured, as most service checks will be performed over the network.

You are not required to use the CGIs included with Nagios. However, if you do decide to use them, you will need to have the following software installed...


A web server (preferrably Apache)
Thomas Boutell's gd library version 1.6.3 or higher (required by the statusmap and trends CGIs)"

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/about.html#requirements

If you get the plugin package to compile, please let me know.  I would like to complete a contrib for SME of Nagios.
