Description of problem: The jmx monitoring (j4p.performance) plugin included in the check-mk-agent epel package is deprecated. The new jmx plugin, mk_jolokia, should be included in the package. In general, the check-mk-agent plugins could probably use a refresh.
Hello, My organization has been maintaining our own local Check_MK packages, and we have decided to try to move to the EPEL upstream to save maintenance effort. In evaluating the changeover, I noticed both the issue that Patrick points out above, as well as the fact that a great many plugins -- some of which are necessary for our agent use here -- live in the main check-mk package, and not in the check-mk-agent package where they should be. The way that it's structured now, if you wanted, say, the mk_oracle_asm plugin, you'd have to install the main check-mk package on your Oracle box, which will also pull in the main Nagios package. Needless to say, this isn't what we want to do on our Oracle boxes. :-) To this end, I've attached an updated spec (check-mk-1.2.4p2-3%{?dist}) which fixes both Patrick's issue, and mine. Please let me know if there's a better way to get this accepted, or if there are any questions or concerns. ~Jeff
Created attachment 936220 [details] Updated spec file fixing these plugin issues.
Created attachment 936229 [details] Updated spec file fixing these plugin issues. I had left out a step, removing the j4p_performance plugin. This spec is, I believe, correct.
Thanks for the patch Jeff, I'll be preparing a new package within the next week.
