## Setting up Check Plugins
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On its own Icinga 2 does not know how to check external services. The
|
||
|
|
[Nagios Plugins Project](https://www.nagios-plugins.org/) provides an extensive
|
||
|
|
set of *plugins* which can be used by Icinga 2 to check whether services are
|
||
|
|
working properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The recommended way of installing these standard plugins is to use your
|
||
|
|
distribution's package manager. For your convenience here is a list of package
|
||
|
|
names for some of the more popular operating systems/distributions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OS/Distribution | Package Name | Installation Path
|
||
|
|
----------------|----------------|---------------------------
|
||
|
|
RHEL/CentOS | nagios-plugins | /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
|
||
|
|
Debian | nagios-plugins | /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
|
||
|
|
FreeBSD | nagios-plugins | /usr/local/libexec/nagios
|
||
|
|
OS X (MacPorts) | nagios-plugins | /opt/local/libexec
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Depending on which directory your plugins are installed into you may need to
|
||
|
|
update the *plugindir* macro in your Icinga 2 configuration. This macro is used
|
||
|
|
by the service templates contained in the Icinga Template Library to determine
|
||
|
|
where to find the plugin binaries.
