The plugins rely on the Net::SNMP Perl library for fetching
data from SNMP enabled hosts.
RHEL/CentOS requires the EPEL repository:
yum -y install epel-release
yum makecache
If you are using RHEL you need enable the optional repository and then install
the EPEL rpm package.
Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get -y install libnet-snmp-perl libcrypt-des-perl libcrypt-rijndael-perl libdigest-hmac-perl
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
yum -y install perl-Net-SNMP perl-Getopt-Long perl-Crypt-DES perl-Crypt-Rijndael perl-Digest-HMAC
Debian/Ubuntu:
install -o root -g root -m755 plugins/*.pl /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
install -o root -g root -m755 plugins/*.pl /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/
Proceed with inspecting the plugins --help parameter in this chapter.
