Nagios Check for GLPI (check_glpi)

Prerequisites

• Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin Perl module
• JSON Perl module
• GLPI >= 10.0.0

Installation

1. Copy check_glpi.pl into your existing plugin directory or into a new directory for your plugins.
2. Create a new command definition using the following as a reference:

define command {
    command_name    check_glpi
    command_line    /opt/nagios/plugins/check_glpi.pl -h $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

Be sure to replace the path to the check_glpi script. 3. Create new service definitions for your hosts/host groups to use this command. Example:

define service {
   use                      local-service
   hostgroup_name           glpi-servers
   service_description      GLPI DB
