Description Paul Wouters 2006-02-06 18:17:53 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)

Description of problem:
A softlink from /var/lib/nagios/libexec to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins is no longer provided. This breaks nagios on cross platform distribution (eg debian) since no longer a single USER1 variable can be used and commands would have to be seperately defined for debian vs fedora machines.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nagios-2.0-0.2.rc2.fc4

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install nagios
2.check for the missing softlink
3.
  

Actual Results:  all my previously defined commands were suddenly broken due to a different USER1 variable.

Comment 1 Paul Wouters 2006-02-06 18:28:27 UTC

actually, what happened is that a new directory was created, so now i have an
almost empty /usr/lib/nagios/plugins that just contains a directory
eventhandles, and a full directly of /var/lib/nagios/libexec with plugins. I
guess I need to change USER1 again to point to the old directory.
(sorry for the bad title, i stupidly re-used the previous submission entry)

Where does Debian put its plugins?

Also nagios-plugins is in waiting for review right now.  It stores things in
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/

Also, the nagios-plugins you have, where did you get it from?

Comment 4 Peter E. Popovich 2006-02-19 06:06:05 UTC

Saw this and figured I'd comment...

Debian apparently[1] puts its plugins in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins.  Dunno about
Paul, but I'm currently using the RPMForge verion[2], which uses
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins, too

(I'm probably stating the obvious, but the plugin scripts are relatively static.
 /var would not be a good place for them.)
