I have been compiling. When doing so the config files go to /usr/local/nagios when installing the packages i think they go in /etc/nagios To retrieve the name of installed package you can run <pre>dpkg --get-selections | grep nagios </pre>Then, you can always find the files installed with the package with the command <pre>dpkg -L package_name </pre>As many other i dont use check_snmp but i can run the plugin from the command line so it works, i use too the Patrick roy's plugin (that do require Net::snmp, i have installed it with CPAN) that do well their job, they are more processor consuming than some other plugins though. <div>2007/10/15, Joel Roberts <<a href="mailto:Joel.Roberts@pinkardcc.com">Joel.Roberts@pinkardcc.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div link="blue" vlink="blue" lang="EN-US"> <div> Thanks for the info.

I do not use the check_snmp plugin, I use Patrick proy's snmp plugins. I misunderstood the requirements of the check_snmp plugin. With patrick's plugins they only require the perl Net-snmp portion, which is why I am using the CPAN version! -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Ericsson [mailto:<a href="mailto:ae@op5.se" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ae@op5.se</a>] Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 1:46 PM To: Valdinger, Stephen (DOV, MSX) Cc: Joel Roberts; <a href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] One more try on Debian Etch Valdinger, Stephen (DOV, MSX) wrote: > Ubuntu is based on debian, and I was able to compile net-snmp from > source successfully on the server that I have Nagios running on.

That will install perl-Net-SNMP (or some such), which is only the perl-cruft into the net-snmp package. check_snmp is written in C, so what you do with CPAN will have absolutely zero impact on how it works. -- Andreas Ericsson <a href="mailto:andreas.ericsson@op5.se" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">andreas.ericsson@op5.se</a> OP5 AB <a href="http://www.op5.se" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.op5.se</a> Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
