Setting up Check Plugins
On its own Icinga 2 does not know how to check external services. The Nagios Plugins Project 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.
